Carotid endarterectomy.
One of my less-favorite operations. All kinds of reflexes can make blood pressure management a challenge. Also, with the interruption of blood flow to the brain, there's a small, but not insignificant, risk of stroke.
Most of the surgeons I worked with would put a bypass "shunt" in the artery to continue blood flow to the brain.
Link to videoWe would always keep track of the "ischemic time" during this procedure - how long cerebral blood flow was interrupted.

Always good to have the vascular surgeons not too far away when picking tumors off vessels. I once spent hours trying to tease off a lymph node from the iliac artery. Finally I said can’t do it, called a vascular surgeon. Clamp clamp. Cut cut. (The artery that is) suture a patch on the vessel. Tosses to me and says here’s your lymph node. And leaves. All within a half hour. Balls of steel.
