Carotid plaque is a manifestation of carotid atherosclerosis, which occurs at the bifurcation of the common carotid artery, and is currently considered to be closely related to the occurrence of ischemic stroke in the elderly. The mechanism of ischemic stroke may be due to plaque enlargement, carotid artery narrowing, intracranial hypoperfusion and plaque dislodgement to form emboli, leading to intracranial artery embolism. The first thing to do is to follow the medical advice of the doctor, treat the related diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, etc., and apply antiplatelet drugs to prevent ischemic strokes. The aim of surgical treatment is to prevent the occurrence of ischemic strokes. Clinically, the surgeon will decide whether to operate and what type of surgery to use based on the degree of stenosis caused by carotid plaque, the stability of the plaque, and the patient’s symptoms and basic condition. In addition there are the following points to note. 1, adhere to exercise The plaque in carotid artery is mainly formed by the long-term accumulation of fat particles in the blood vessels. Adhering to exercise can increase the blood circulation in the body, promote the discharge of harmful substances, prevent and control the large accumulation of lipids in the body, which can effectively improve the condition and release the physical and mental pressure.
