end/arter/ectomy
In a coronary endarterectomy, obstructive material from a coronary artery is removed (excision) (one of the arteries in the heart muscle). The removal of occluding debris from the carotid artery is known as a carotid endarterectomy. End- + arteria artery + English -ectomy form the new Latin term for an artery's intima.
The prefix [end-] (occasionally written [endo]), which means "inner" or "internal," the base term [-arter-], which means "artery," and the suffix [-ectomy], which means "removal" or "excision," make up the word "endarterectomy."
To treat arterial stenosis brought on by atheromatous plaque, an endarterectomy is performed.
