Abstract
Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is a widespread and safe procedure associated with very little risk. Only at our hospital surgeons perform nearly 1000 of these surgeries annually, with serious complications occurring extremely rarely[1]. Cerebral ischemic events due to external carotid artery (ECA) thrombosis following a successful internal carotid artery (ICA) endarterectomy is one of such complications. We present a case of ECA thrombosis, following ICA endarterectomy that caused ischemic events.
