Experiences with

Endarterectomy

Just had 1 year duplex scan after my carotid endarterectomy and expected the vessel to be clear. Scanning operative drew pic for my surgeon showing some residual disease on scar site. I was shocked and terrified after all I have been through. Has anyone else experience to impart?

should I go ahead with endarterectomy? Thanks for your advice

Yesterday (4 July) he had a telephone appointment with a vascular consultant to discuss the possibility of a carotid endarterectomy. The consultant has said that it could be done early September. To me, this seems a long time to wait.

I had a TIA on 1st January 2022(fantastic start to the new year),followed by an endarterectomy on my right carotid artery as was 90% blocked.

Please excuse any and all mistakes, I make whilst writing this post, as have just had a TIA, followed by an endarterectomy and was discharged from hospital last night.

I’ve taken Chlopidogrel since 2008 when I had an endarterectomy for a left blocked carotid artery. I’d never had a TIA before or since. For a long time I’ve been concerned with taking this Chlopidogrel and have mentioned this to my GP’s on several occasions.

Hello, I’ve regularly taken daily Chlopidogrel since 2008 for a blocked left carotid artery (endarterectomy 2008). I’ve never had a TIA. A friend had very heavy bleeding whilst taking Chlopidogrel and was on hospital.

I am awaiting the above procedure. Until the onset of PAD which came as a surprise I was an active cyclist albeit at age 79. I am anxious to learn of the outcome of this op and whether I can expect a successful return to my pre-diagnosis position. Or does have an effect on mobility.

Does anybody know whether someone who has had a Cartoid Endarterectomy is vulnerable to the Coronavirus and should not go out?

I was sent for lung and heart function tests at the royal hallamshire hospital in Sheffield in 2016 where they decided I was a perfect candidate for a pulmonary endarterectomy at papworth hospital in Cambridge.

I was diagnosed with APS (triple positive) in September 2016 after a series of TIAs and having a Carotid Endarterectomy in June 2016.

I had a Carotid endarterectomy in October 2016 (96% blocked) and suffered a TIA also. I try not to worry but its easier said than done :(

Would be very helpful to "swap" experience, outcame etc

I recently had a carotid endarterectomy & but back on my edoxaban and aspirin added. Surely this has a risk of bleeding & is it likely to affect the healing process as clotting is part of the healing process? Anyone able to comment please.

I have recently been put on Aspirin 75mg after carotid endarterectomy to clear a blockage in my carotid artery. How dangerous is this & is it likely I need to remain on both ?

Hi I'm 53 and had a year of terrible illness ranging from. severe chest pains, chronic prostatitis. temporary monocular blindness, several TIAs and a Carotid Endarterectomy. I have just been diagnosed with APS syndrome.
