Carotid endarterectomies have been performed for over a decade now. To review the knowledge derived from this surgical experience, i studied 18 reports on the subject, giving attention to four specific phases of patient care: the diagnostic, preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative periods.

Natriuretic peptide receptor-C is up-regulated in the intima of advanced carotid artery atherosclerosis [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Natriuretic peptide receptor-C (NPR-C/NPR-3) is a cell surface protein involved in vascular remodelling that is up-regulated in atherosclerosis. NPR-C expression has not been well characterized in human carotid artery occlusive lesions.
