Carotid eversion endarterectomy is a long-standing vascular surgery technique practised at the San Bortolo Hospital. We compared this technique with more traditional surgical methods, summarising patient outcome in the tables.
Eversion endarterectomy offers many advantages over traditional surgical techniques and must now be compared with interventional radiology procedures.
