CEA （carotid endarterectomy）, was initially designed delicately to excise of the thickened, atheromatous tunica intima from the focal stenosis segment, which therefore has been acknowledged as an efficacious way in the management of the prophylaxis of cerebral ischemia. Deruing 1990＇s, carotid endarterectomy （CEA） has matured to a widely performed, standard intervention with well defined successive steps. In the recent years, appearance of angloplasty, stenting, and distal protection procedures provides competitive alternatives to classical endarterectomy.
