The carotid artery is an important channel connecting the human brain and the heart. The carotid artery continuously transports blood from the heart to the brain, thus providing sufficient oxygen and nutrients for brain cells. However, the high incidence of cerebrovascular diseases such as carotid stenosis seriously affects the blood supply to the brain and puts life and health at risk. Carotid stenosis can cause various symptoms such as dizziness What does carotid stenosis cause, and does it cause dizziness? It must be clear that the carotid artery is the main blood supply artery of the brain, and when the carotid artery is stenosed, the brain will experience different degrees of ischemia. The main symptoms include dizziness and headache, memory loss, blurred vision, frequent insomnia and dreaminess, mental fatigue, and in some severe cases, recurrent syncope and even sudden blindness, aphasia, coma and hemiparesis. In addition to these symptoms, carotid stenosis can be life-threatening if not treated in time. This is because the sclerotic plaque in the carotid lumen will block the blood vessel after it is dislodged, thus causing problems such as cerebral infarction and stroke. I believe we all know the seriousness of stroke, not only can the patient not be able to take care of himself after the stroke, but also can lose his life in serious cases. Treatment of carotid stenosis There are many problems that may be caused by carotid stenosis, and the severity of the problem must not be ignored, so the treatment of the disease should not be delayed. In the case of mild carotid stenosis, conservative medical treatment is recommended, while for more severe carotid stenosis, surgical treatment should be taken if necessary depending on the specific situation. It is known that our hospital has achieved very good results in the treatment of cerebrovascular diseases such as carotid stenosis, and our neurosurgery department of cerebrovascular disease adopts a more mature technique, namely carotid endarterectomy. As the head of the department, I have been studying and researching in this area. I went abroad to study the advanced treatment technology in this area and successfully introduced carotid endarterectomy into China, and after returning to China, I have accumulated rich clinical experience and developed excellent surgical skills through in-depth research and practice. At present, I have led our team to successfully perform more than a thousand cases of carotid endarterectomy, achieving excellent results and bringing blessings to many patients with carotid artery stenosis.
