FAQs
Your Questions Answered, Clarity Delivered!
Carotid artery disease occurs when the arteries supplying blood to the brain narrow due to plaque buildup, increasing stroke risk.
Symptoms may include sudden numbness, weakness, difficulty speaking, vision loss in one eye, or sudden severe headache, signaling a stroke.
It is diagnosed through physical exams, ultrasound imaging, CT scans, and angiography to assess the extent of artery narrowing.
Treatment options include lifestyle changes, medications, angioplasty, stent placement, or carotid endarterectomy (surgical removal of plaque).
Carotid endarterectomy is a surgical procedure where the plaque is surgically removed from the carotid artery to restore normal blood flow.
Carotid stenting involves inserting a stent into the artery to keep it open and improve blood flow, often used for high-risk patients.
Surgery is recommended if the artery is severely narrowed (more than 70%) or if symptoms like transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) occur.
Treatments like surgery and stenting are highly effective in preventing strokes, especially when performed early in the disease progression.
Lifestyle changes include quitting smoking, eating a healthy diet, managing blood pressure and cholesterol, exercising regularly, and controlling diabetes.
Risks include stroke, heart attack, bleeding, infection, or nerve damage, but these are generally low with skilled medical intervention.
