Carotid artery calcified

November 11, 2010 | 15,00 EUR | answered by Dr. med. Olaf Stephan

My father is in the hospital and has his carotid artery calcified. Now he is going to be operated on, they want to cut open his neck and clean the artery. He probably also had a stroke unnoticed and has 2 stents. I am very afraid: What can happen? Is it very dangerous? How long does the surgery take? What exactly will be done? Will there be any lasting damage?
