Innovative surgery for treating complex carotid artery blockages

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study evaluates Gao's triple eversion carotid endarterectomy (GTE-CEA), a novel surgical technique designed to address tandem carotid lesions that traditional carotid endarterectomy cannot effectively treat. The study involves a retrospective review of patient charts from those who underwent GTE-CEA since September 2021, focusing on patients with significant carotid artery stenosis. The goal is to assess the safety and efficacy of this innovative approach in managing complex carotid artery conditions.
