Abstract
Carotid endarterectomy is common vascular procedure for atherosclerosis of carotid artery. Usually, it is done when the artery is narrowed more than 80% but it can be done even when it is narrowed 50 % if it produces symptoms. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is delayed 6 to 8 weeks after acute stoke, as the stroke can be progressive. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is done after optimal recovery from the stroke by the patient. The recovery depends on the preoperative size of the infarct and the neurological deficit. Emergency endarterectomy can be done when there is fluctuating neurological deficits due to acute carotid artery obstruction. CEA is contraindicated when the patient’s general condition is poor due to other serious illness which shorten life expectancy. It is not done in a case of major stroke as the recovery may not satisfactory.

IJOHNS, undoubtedly one of the oldest Journals in India, is the official publication of the Association of Otolaryngologists of India and is about to publish it is 67th Volume in 2015. The Journal published quarterly accepts articles in general Oto-Rhino-Laryngology and various subspecialities such as Otology, Rhinology, Laryngology and Phonosurgery, Neurotology, Head and Neck Surgery etc.
The Journal acts as a window to showcase and project the clinical and research work done by Otolaryngologists community in India and around the world. It is a continued source of useful clinical information with peer review by eminent Otolaryngologists of repute in their respective fields. The Journal accepts articles pertaining to clinical reports, Clinical studies, Research articles in basic and applied Otolaryngology, short Communications, Clinical records reporting unusual presentations or lesions and new surgical techniques. The journal acts as a catalyst and mirrors the Indian Otolaryngologist’s active interests and pursuits. The Journal also invites articles from senior and experienced authors on interesting topics in Otolaryngology and allied sciences from all over the world.
The print version is distributed free to about 4000 members of Association of Otolaryngologists of India and the e-Journal shortly going to make its appearance on the Springer Board can be accessed by all the members.
Association of Otolaryngologists of India and M/s Springer India group have come together to co-publish IJOHNS from January 2007 and this bondage is going to provide an impetus to the Journal in terms of international presence and global exposure.
