Carotid Stenting for Stroke Prevention
Carotid artery disease occurs when the carotid arteries supplying blood to the brain become narrowed due to plaque buildup (atherosclerosis). This condition significantly increases the risk of stroke if left untreated.
Carotid stenting is a minimally invasive, image-guided procedure that restores blood flow to the brain by placing a stent inside the narrowed artery, reducing the risk of stroke without the need for open surgery.
Our Treatment Approach
Each patient undergoes thorough neurological evaluation and vascular imaging to assess the severity of narrowing and determine the safest treatment plan.
