Anesthetic Management for Carotid Endarterectomy Using Superficial and Intermediate Cervical Plexus Block: A Case Report.

Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is a surgical procedure that is performed to reduce the risk of stroke by removing atherosclerotic plaque from the carotid artery. Regional anesthesia, mainly a combined superficial and intermediate cervical plexus block, is used as an alternative to general anesthesia for maintaining cerebral perfusion, hemodynamic control, cerebral monitoring, and rapid neurological assessment during surgery. Here, we present a case of a 69-year-old male with symptomatic right carotid artery stenosis who underwent a successful right CEA using a combined superficial and intermediate cervical plexus block.
