Carotid interventions for recent/recurrent stroke

Carotid interventions are procedures used to treat carotid artery stenosis, a condition where the carotid arteries in the neck become narrowed or blocked. This narrowing can reduce blood flow to the brain, increasing the risk of stroke

Symptoms

  • Transient Ischemic Attacks (TIAs)
  • Stroke

Causes

  • Atherosclerosis
  • High blood pressure
  • Diabetes
  • Smoking
  • High cholesterol

Treatment of Carotid Artery Stenosis with Carotid Interventions

Carotid interventions are procedures used to treat carotid artery stenosis and reduce the risk of stroke. The two main types of interventions are:
  • Carotid Endarterectomy (CEA): A traditional surgical procedure that involves removing the plaque buildup from the carotid artery.
  • Carotid Stenting: A less invasive procedure that involves inserting a stent into the narrowed artery to widen it and improve blood flow.
