Understanding Carotid Artery Disease
Carotid artery disease refers to the narrowing or blockage of the carotid arteries, which are major blood vessels in the neck that supply blood to the brain. This condition is often caused by atherosclerosis, where fatty deposits build up on the artery walls.
India has become a leading destination for carotid artery disease treatment, offering world-class care at affordable costs. Dr. Vikas Gupta provides comprehensive treatment options including carotid endarterectomy and stenting procedures.
Recognizing Carotid Artery Disease Symptoms
Transient Ischemic Attacks (TIAs)
Often called "mini-strokes," these are temporary episodes with sudden weakness, numbness, or difficulty speaking.
Stroke Symptoms
Sudden confusion, trouble speaking, loss of vision, or difficulty walking due to blocked blood flow to the brain.
Vision Problems
Sudden vision loss or blurred vision in one or both eyes may indicate carotid artery blockage.
Weakness & Numbness
Sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the body, especially face, arm, or leg.
If you experience any of these symptoms, seek immediate medical attention.
What Causes Carotid Artery Disease?
Atherosclerosis
The most common cause where plaque made up of fat, cholesterol, and other substances accumulates in the arteries, leading to narrowing.
High Blood Pressure
Persistent high blood pressure can damage artery walls, making them more susceptible to plaque buildup.
Smoking & Diabetes
Tobacco use damages blood vessel walls, and diabetes increases the risk of developing atherosclerosis and carotid disease.
High Cholesterol & Genetics
Elevated cholesterol levels accelerate plaque formation. A family history of cardiovascular disease can also play a role.
Advanced Carotid Artery Disease Treatment Options
Lifestyle Changes
Adopting a healthy diet, quitting smoking, and increasing physical activity to manage risk factors and slow progression.
Medications
Statins to lower cholesterol, antihypertensives to control blood pressure, and antiplatelet agents to prevent blood clots.
Surgical Procedures
Carotid endarterectomy to remove plaque, and carotid angioplasty with stenting for minimally invasive treatment.
