Cortex Artery Surgery?

My friend saw a pt. who said she had this surgery she had an incision scar that went from shoulder to shoulder. It was supposed to bypass the carotid arteries. So there would be good blood flow to the brain.

Any ideas?

carotid bypass

blockage of the carotid arteries in the neck can reduce the blood flow to the brain and can therefore cause stroke. the preferred treatment for carotid stenosis (blockage) is a procedure to clean out the artery (endarterectomy). in a small percentage of patients, the artery is so diseased that it cannot be cleaned out. such patients can usually be treated with a carotid bypass operation in which the diseased artery is either bypassed or replaced with a new vessel made of the patient's own vein, or of special plastics.
