Coronary Endarterectomy
What Is Coronary Endarterectomy?
Coronary endarterectomy is a surgical procedure that eliminates fatty deposits known as plaque from the internal walls of the coronary heart’s arteries. These arteries carry blood to the heart muscle, and when they get blocked or slender, it is able to cause chest pain or coronary heart issues.
This surgical treatment opens the arteries so blood can float higher. This manner is often executed along with coronary heart pass surgical treatment when the blockages are too large or spread out.
