With recent improvements in prosthetic materials for arterial replacement or bypass and the widespread use of autologous vein, the indication for endarterectomy has progressively diminished. The carotid artery is the only vessel in which endarterectomy has been consistently retained as the operation of choices in the treatment of atherosclerotic disease.
