Carotid arteriosclerosis can be seen in neurosurgery, cardiovascular surgery, neurology and other departments. If the patient has symptoms of carotid arteriosclerosis such as dizziness and unfavorable movement of the arms and legs, he/she should consult a doctor for examination in a timely manner.
1. Neurosurgery: If the intracranial segment of the carotid artery is diseased and the carotid artery is stenotic or occluded, the patient usually consults the neurosurgery department.
2. Cardiovascular Surgery: If the patient’s carotid artery stenosis is combined with hypertension, hyperglycemia and other underlying diseases, he/she can go to Cardiovascular Surgery for consultation and treatment.
3. Neurology: If the patient’s carotid artery atherosclerosis has formed plaque detachment, which triggers cerebrovascular disease, such as cerebral infarction, in this case should go to the Department of Neurology for treatment.
In addition, if the patient’s condition is urgent, he or she should go to the emergency department for treatment immediately.
