Eversion endarterectomy of the Internal Carotid Artery (ICA) has been employed as a good alternative method to classical carotid endarterectomy. The details of this technique are presented. The main operative steps are: complete transection of the ICA from the carotid bifurcation, eversion endarterectomy of the ICA, endarterectomy of the External Carotid Artery, reimplantation of a the ICA to its normal position and reconstruction of a new bifurcation. The major advantages of this attractive technique are optimum correction of an elongated ICA in combination with stenosis, avoidance of patch material for arteriotomy closure and low restenosis rate.
