My wife had her carotid cleaned out by surgery by the ‘slice and scoop’ method. BTW… Don’t ever say that to a vascular surgeon mine got a little pissed at me.
I had mine done last year. Went in through the artery in my groin with a stent placed in my carotid.
No visible scar on the neck and a couple days of recovery time.

Piece of pie!…I like pie better than cake.
