Question

If a patient is lying facing up and the carotid vein was cut, what operative procedure was done?

Answer 1

It's an artery, not a vein.

The procedure is a carotid endarterectomy, not stenting.

Answer 2

A fake one.  There is no carotid vein.  There's a jugular vein, and a carotid artery.

You may be thinking of a carotid endarterectomy, where the artery is cleaned out of plaque that builds up in it.

Answer 3

Sounds like "murder" the way you asked it, but more likely stents were put in.

And FYI, it's an artery, not a vein.

The PA below me is correct about the procedure!
