Many people may not know about carotid artery stenosis, but we should be familiar with problems such as stroke and cerebral infarction. In fact, we may not know that most of these problems are caused by carotid artery stenosis. The duty of the carotid artery is to continuously deliver fresh blood to the brain, but if carotid stenosis occurs, the brain will suffer from insufficient blood supply, which will lead to stroke and cerebral infarction if not controlled by timely treatment. Carotid artery stenosis is a very serious cerebrovascular disease, so if you are unfortunate enough to have the disease, you must do a good job of prevention and treatment in your daily life. In addition, attention should be paid to adjusting their diet and eating habits, maintaining a low-salt, low-sugar, low-cholesterol, low-fat diet structure, and strengthening exercise. For patients with severe disease, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital before it is too late for timely treatment. Treatment of carotid stenosis There are two medical treatments for carotid stenosis, one is medication and the other is surgery. Drug treatment is mainly for mild patients with low degree of stenosis, but if the patient has high degree of stenosis and the condition is relatively serious, the treatment effect is not good with drugs alone. For the treatment of moderate to severe carotid artery stenosis, patients are recommended to take surgical means to treat the stenosis, so that the possibility of recovery is greater. According to the survey, carotid endarterectomy is currently the gold standard for the treatment of moderate to severe carotid stenosis, and the successful use of this technique has allowed many patients to see the light of health.
