Carotid and Vertebral Artery Stenting

Preventing Stroke by Restoring Flow

Carotid and vertebral artery stenting is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat narrowing of arteries supplying blood to the brain. Such narrowing reduces blood flow and significantly increases the risk of stroke and transient ischemic attacks.

A stent is placed inside the narrowed artery using catheters to widen it and restore circulation. This improves cerebral blood flow, reduces stroke risk, and avoids open surgery.

Symptoms Indicating Need for Artery Stenting

Artery stenting is recommended when reduced blood flow causes warning neurological symptoms or when imaging shows significant narrowing. Early intervention prevents major stroke. Timely stenting restores circulation, stabilizes symptoms, and protects brain function by reducing clot formation and embolic events associated with arterial stenosis.

Sudden weakness

Slurred speech

Vision loss

Facial drooping

Dizziness spells

Transient blindness

Causes Requiring Artery Stenting

Critical Brain Artery Narrowing

Atherosclerotic plaque buildup.

Significant carotid artery stenosis.

Vertebral artery narrowing.

Recurrent transient ischemic attacks.

Poor response to medications.

High risk of major stroke.

Unsuitability for surgical endarterectomy.

Benefits of Carotid and Vertebral Stenting

Carotid and vertebral artery stenting restores blood flow to the brain, significantly reducing stroke risk. It prevents clot formation, improves neurological stability, and preserves brain function. As a minimally invasive procedure, it avoids open surgery, shortens recovery time, reduces complications, and offers effective long-term protection against recurrent cerebrovascular events.
