Congenital carotid artery stenosis is mostly due to vascular malformations. Mild to moderate stenosis is usually treated by controlling blood glucose and blood pressure, while severe stenosis is treated by surgery.
1. When congenital carotid artery stenosis is mild to moderate and the stenosis is less than 70%, there is usually no obvious change in hemodynamics, and there is no obvious discomfort, for this kind of carotid artery stenosis, it is usually necessary to control the blood glucose and blood pressure, etc., to reduce the risk of atherosclerosis as much as possible.
2. If the degree of stenosis is greater than 70%, accompanied by dizziness, headache, numbness and weakness of the limbs and other symptoms, it is usually necessary to surgically place a stent to alleviate the condition.
As you can see from the above, for congenital carotid artery stenosis, it is important to clarify the degree of carotid artery stenosis, whether there are uncomfortable symptoms, etc., and have the treatment evaluated by a professional doctor, so as to avoid delaying the condition.
