title: [Modified eversion carotid endarterectomy].
abstract: The authors describe their own modified eversion technique of the carotid endarterectomy, which they began to carry out in the surgical clinic in Pilsen in 2002. A perfect endarterectomy of the bulbus and of the common carotid is the main advantage of this modified technique, when compared to the classical eversion technique. Later on, the authors learned from the literature that the technique was not entirely new, but a similar technique of the carotid endarterectomy had been used more than 30 years ago, already.
