Posterior transverse plication is a surgical maneuver that can be used during carotid endarterectomy to prevent arterial kinking in patients with a tortuous internal carotid artery.

PTP may avert post-CEA kinking stenosis in tortuous ICA; leaves open need for controlled trials before routine adoption.
Post-operative ICA stenosis secondary to an arterial kinking had been documented in patients who had a tortuous ICA. Posterior transverse plication (PTP) is one of the surgical manoeuvres used during CEA for a significantly tortuous ICA to prevent an arterial kinking stenosis after the carotid surgery.
