What about carotid atherosclerosis with plaque formation?

Carotid atherosclerosis with plaque formation can be treated by general treatment, medication or surgery. Conservative treatment can be used for patients with mild symptoms, and surgical treatment can be carried out if there are obvious symptoms. It is suggested that patients should go to the hospital in time to make a treatment plan so as not to delay the condition. 1. General treatment: It is applicable to patients with mild symptoms, and can control and prevent the disease through reasonable diet, adherence to moderate physical activity, rational arrangement of work and life, smoking cessation and alcohol restriction, and control of susceptible factors. 2. Pharmacological treatment: commonly used drugs include lipid-adjusting drugs (atorvastatin, simvastatin), anti-platelet aggregation drugs (aspirin, clopidogrel), thrombolytic drugs (reteplase, alteplase). 3. Surgical treatment: For patients whose conservative treatment is ineffective or whose condition is severe, carotid endarterectomy, carotid stent angioplasty, carotid arterioplasty and other treatments can be carried out. Most of the early carotid atherosclerosis has no specific symptoms, but it needs to be taken seriously. It is recommended that patients go to the hospital in a timely manner to formulate an appropriate treatment plan according to their condition so as to avoid aggravation of their condition.
