Carotid Artery Surgery

Your brain is the command center of your entire being, but have you ever considered how it obtains the oxygen it needs to function? This is where your carotid arteries work as speed lanes for oxygen-rich blood. These blood arteries ensure that the brain receives a steady supply.

Statistics say the carotid arteries provide 2,000 liters of blood to your brain daily.

However, the carotid artery sometimes causes "clogs" in these critical pathways. It's like a traffic jam on your brain's oxygen motorway. This can lead to serious health issues, including stroke.

5. Can I resume normal activities after surgery, and is there follow-up care?

Yes, in a few weeks, follow-up appointments are crucial for monitoring recovery and benefits.
