Carotid Angioplasty

Carotid angioplasty is a life-saving procedure for treating carotid artery stenosis, a condition where the carotid arteries supplying blood to the brain are narrowed. Left untreated, this condition can significantly increase the risk of stroke. During the procedure, a balloon catheter is used to open the narrowed artery, and a stent is placed to keep it open, ensuring adequate blood flow to the brain.

This minimally invasive technique is an excellent alternative to traditional surgery, offering faster recovery and reduced risks of complications. Carotid angioplasty is a critical intervention for patients at high risk of stroke, providing long-term protection and improved neurological health.
