What is Carotid Disease?
Carotid Artery Disease
Carotid disease is a condition that can lead to strokes or mini-strokes. It happens when the carotid arteries, which carry blood to the head and neck, become narrowed or blocked. This can happen because of a buildup of plaque, which is made up of fat, cholesterol, and other substances in the blood. Plaque can harden and narrow the arteries, making it harder for blood to flow through.

Medical management of carotid disease includes the use of antiplatelet therapy and cholesterol-lowering medications. These medications are designed to reduce the risk of future stroke by decreasing the formation of blood clots.
Surgical management of carotid disease includes carotid endarterectomy, which is a procedure to remove the buildup of plaque from the carotid arteries. This procedure is typically performed when medical management has failed to adequately reduce the risk of stroke.
