The number of years a person can live with cervical plaque formation cannot be generalized, but needs to be judged in combination with the degree of lumen narrowing of the patient and whether or not the patient has undergone effective treatment. Generally speaking, if the cervical plaque is large, resulting in severe narrowing of the lumen area, and if it is not treated in time and allowed to develop, it is more likely to be dislodged or cause intracranial blood flow obstruction, resulting in ischemia and cerebral embolism on one side of the brain and secondary hemiparesis, aphasia or even death, which will seriously affect the patient’s survival period. However, if patients are detected early and actively cooperate with doctors in treatment, improve lifestyle and control risk factors, basically it will not affect their normal life expectancy. Therefore, patients with vascular plaques in the neck must be actively treated, and if the plaques are large, surgery or interventional therapy can also be considered. In addition, patients should also pay attention to develop good living, diet and exercise habits, and have regular medical checkups.
