Carotid artery obstruction is generally related to high blood lipid, atherosclerosis and other diseases, when cerebral infarction occurs, you can take drugs to dissolve the thrombus or improve the cerebral function of the drug for direct treatment, without cerebral infarction, you need to control the risk factors.
For patients with carotid atherosclerotic plaques, thrombolytic therapy can be carried out with drugs such as alteplase, which can effectively dissolve the embolus, promote blood vessel patency and ensure blood circulation. Those who have symptoms such as headache, dizziness, memory loss and poor concentration can use piracetam, hydroxyergot alkaloids and other brain activating drugs and nimodipine, flunarizine and other vasodilators as symptomatic.
If carotid artery obstruction patients do not develop to the severity of cerebral infarction, the use of thrombolytic drugs is not required, and generally need to appropriate control of vascular disease risk factors in daily life to effectively alleviate the disease.
The risk factors of vascular disease include high blood pressure, high blood lipid, etc. Therefore, antihypertensive drugs such as nifedipine, amlodipine, etc., and lipid-lowering drugs such as atorvastatin, rivastigmine, etc. can be taken.
For the lesser degree of obstruction or the absence of vascular infarction, it can be treated by medication, and it is recommended to use medication under the guidance of a doctor. However, for cases where there is obvious large blockage of the blood vessel, the embolism can be removed quickly through interventional surgery.
Carotid artery blockage is recommended to seek medical treatment as soon as possible, under the guidance of professional doctors to clarify the severity of the condition and give targeted treatment. Please do not self-medicate to avoid delaying the condition.
