Carotid Artery Stenting in Govindpuram; Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is a procedure in which a stent is inserted into a diseased artery supplying blood flow to the brain to reduce risk of stroke. The carotid arteries are located on each side of the neck and carry blood and oxygen to the brain. Over time, these arteries may become diseased with atherosclerosis, and plaque can build up on the inside, leading to narrowing of the vessels (carotid artery stenosis). Risk factors for carotid artery stenosis include age, smoking, diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure, among others. Most patients with carotid artery stenosis never have symptoms, but some may be at risk of stroke. The diagnosis of carotid artery stenosis is made with ultrasound, but sometimes computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) angiography is needed to see the anatomy of the blood vessels. Patients with 50% stenosis of the artery and symptoms or patients with no symptoms but 70% stenosis may be considered for surgery. The risks and benefits of surgery should be discussed with a clinician, as not every patient benefits from surgery.
