Carotid Artery Stenting: Advanced Care for Stroke Prevention
Carotid artery stenosis can significantly increase the risk of stroke, turning routine activities into a source of concern. At Vanchilingam Advanced Neurology and Stroke Care, we offer carotid artery stenting using cutting edge technology to restore proper blood flow to the brain, reducing stroke risk and empowering you to live with confidence and peace of mind.
Understanding Carotid Artery Disease
The carotid arteries, located on either side of the neck, supply oxygen-rich blood to the brain. Over time, these arteries can become narrowed or blocked by fat deposits (plaque), a condition known as carotid artery stenosis. This narrowing restricts blood flow and increases the risk of ischemic strokes caused by blood clots or plaque fragments traveling to the brain.
Key symptoms of carotid artery disease include:
Key symptoms of carotid artery disease include:
- Sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the body.
- Slurred speech or difficulty understanding others.
- Temporary loss of vision in one eye.
- Dizziness or loss of balance.
Causes of Carotid Artery Disease
Carotid artery stenosis is often caused by:
- Atherosclerosis: Build-up of fatty deposits along artery walls.
- Hypertension: Chronic high blood pressure contributing to arterial damage.
- Smoking: A major risk factor for vascular disease.
- Diabetes: Accelerates plaque formation in arteries.
- High Cholesterol: Excessive LDL cholesterol increasing plaque build-up.
The Carotid Artery Stenting Advantage
Carotid artery stenting is a minimally invasive procedure that effectively treats carotid artery stenosis and reduces the risk of stroke. The procedure restores blood flow to the brain and prevents future blockages with the help of a small metal stent placed in the artery to widen and stabilize it.
Why Consider Carotid Artery Stenting?
- Minimally Invasive: Avoids open surgery with quicker recovery times.
- Effective Stroke Prevention: Restores proper blood flow, significantly reducing the risk of stroke.
- Precision Treatment: Targets specific areas of blockage with advanced imaging guidance.
- Durable Results: Stents are designed to keep arteries open long-term.
How Carotid Artery Stenting is Performed
- Comprehensive Evaluation: Advanced imaging techniques like angiography identify the severity and location of blockages.
- Access and Preparation: A catheter is gently inserted through a small pinhole in the groin and guided to the carotid artery.
- Stent Placement: A balloon is inflated to widen the artery, and a stent is placed to keep it open.
- Post-Procedure Monitoring: Patients are observed for a day or two before being discharged, with most resuming normal activities within days.
