The mission of the carotid artery is to supply blood to the human brain, which is the real lifeline of the human body, and if there are problems with the carotid artery, the consequences are very serious and potentially fatal. Carotid artery stenosis is a common cerebrovascular disease, the blood supply to the brain is insufficient, the patient’s life and health are greatly threatened, it is necessary to pay attention to the disease and actively give effective treatment. Mild stenosis can be treated conservatively with drugs For example, we often see people around us with cerebral ischemia and cerebral infarction, most of which are also caused by severe carotid stenosis. Therefore, once you have carotid artery stenosis, treatment is a matter of urgency. The treatment of carotid artery stenosis is also differentiated, and some patients with a low degree of stenosis may be treated with conservative medication. However, in some patients with stenosis of more than 50% and symptoms or unstable plaque, medication alone is far from effective and surgical treatment is needed. Currently, carotid endarterectomy is an effective treatment modality. When it comes to carotid endarterectomy for carotid artery stenosis, many patients are afraid of the risk of surgery on the one hand, and the cost of carotid artery stenosis surgery in Beijing on the other hand, and patients are afraid that the cost of surgery is too high for them to bear and miss the treatment. In fact, there is no need to worry too much, the cost of carotid artery stenosis surgery is not as high as imagined, and now the national policy on medical insurance is very pro-people, and the cost of surgery is not high after medical insurance reimbursement. Carotid endarterectomy – the gold standard for treating carotid stenosis and preventing stroke As far as I know, our hospital is still quite professional in the treatment of carotid stenosis, and as the director of neurosurgery for cerebrovascular diseases, I have been practicing for decades and have some insights and experience in the treatment of carotid stenosis and other cerebrovascular diseases. I have studied abroad and led my own team to practice in depth. I have rich clinical experience and have solved the disease problems for many patients by using carotid endarterectomy. Carotid endarterectomy is now recognized by the medical community as the standard procedure for treating carotid stenosis and preventing cerebral infarction. Since the first carotid artery dissection was successfully performed by foreign medical experts in the 1950s, more than 70 years of development have passed and the technique is quite mature. The operation is performed under a microscope, and the outer wall of the carotid artery is incised, the diseased intimal plaque is peeled off and removed, the size of the carotid diameter is restored, and the blood flow is restored, with remarkable and definite results.
