The treatment of carotid atherosclerosis plaque is mainly divided into general treatment, drug treatment, interventional treatment and surgical treatment, as follows: I. General treatment: Patients need to adjust the diet structure, for example, try not to drink drinks containing alcohol, do not eat too greasy food, and do not eat pickled food, etc. These can reduce the content of blood lipids and cholesterol in the body, and will be able to reduce the continued increase of plaque.
