The carotid artery is the lifeline of the body, and blood to the head and face is carried by the carotid artery. As you can imagine, the health of the carotid artery is of paramount importance. However, nowadays, carotid artery stenosis is a highly prevalent problem, and patients have insufficient blood supply to the head and face, resulting in a series of health problems. Can carotid artery stenosis 70-99% be controlled by medication? In the treatment of carotid artery, medication and surgery are the common ways. If carotid stenosis is less than 50% and there are no obvious symptoms, conservative medication can be used to control the stenosis and prevent it from getting worse. However, if the degree of stenosis reaches 70-99%, it is already a severe carotid stenosis, and medication alone will not work well at this time, so surgery is recommended. In other words, when the stenosis is 70-99%, even if there are no serious symptoms, surgery should be performed as soon as possible. With the continuous development of medical technology, the more effective treatment for carotid stenosis is carotid endarterectomy, which is the internationally recognized gold standard for the treatment of carotid stenosis as it can improve blood supply to the brain and prevent the occurrence of cerebral infarction and other problems. However, there are not many hospitals that can successfully perform carotid endarterectomy, so patients are advised to go to a regular hospital for treatment. In any case, the impact of carotid stenosis on health is great, and treatment should not be delayed after the disease. Patients should face up to the seriousness of the disease, go to a regular hospital in a timely manner, and actively cooperate with the treatment under the guidance of experts, so that they can get their health back.
