Carotid endarterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove a build-up of fatty deposits (plaque), which cause narrowing of a carotid artery. The carotid arteries are the main blood vessels that supply blood to the neck, face and brain.

Carotid artery disease is also called carotid artery stenosis. The term refers to the narrowing of the carotid arteries. This narrowing is usually caused by the buildup of fatty substances and cholesterol deposits, called plaque. Carotid artery occlusion refers to complete blockage of the artery.

Your doctor will recommend carotid ultrasound if you have transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) or certain types of stroke and may recommend a carotid ultrasound if you have medical conditions that increase the risk of stroke, including: High blood pressure. Diabetes. High cholesterol.
What is the difference between stenosis of a vessel and an occlusion of a vessel? Stenosis is the narrowing while occlusion is a blockage or closing.
A complete occlusion of the internal carotid artery (ICA) is an important cause of cerebrovascular disease. A never‐symptomatic ICA occlusion has a relatively benign course, whereas symptomatic occlusion increases future risk of strokes.
Carotid artery disease occurs when fatty deposits (plaques) clog the blood vessels that deliver blood to your brain and head (carotid arteries). The blockage increases your risk of stroke, a medical emergency that occurs when the blood supply to the brain is interrupted or seriously reduced.
Remember that a bilateral study which is not complete (i.e., limited) would be classified by CPT code 93882. For evaluation of carotid arteries, use CPT codes 93880, duplex scan of extracranial arteries, complete bilateral study or 93882, unilateral or limited study.
