At IRfacilities, under the direction of Dr. Sandeep Sharma, one of India’s most renowned interventional radiologists the procedure is carried out using a combination of compassion, precision and the latest technology. Patients all over India depend on IRfacilities to deliver the most secure, minimally-invasive, and highly effective vascular treatments which help improve the health and avoid any future complications.
The Understanding of the Carotid Arteries and Stroke Risk
The carotid blood vessels are the major blood vessels situated on both sides of the neck. They supply an oxygen rich blood stream to the brain. As time passes the arteries may be blocked or narrowed because of the accumulation of plaque, an issue called carotid artery narrowing or stenosis.
In this situation blood flow to the brain diminishes and plaque fragments can split, resulting in Ischemic strokes. It is among the most frequent and risky kinds of strokes, that can cause severe disability and even death, if treated immediately.
In the past, the surgery procedure is known as carotid endarterectomy was employed to remove the blockages. With the advancements in medical technology in the field, this carotid stent proceure has become an less invasive, more secure and more effective option.
What is an Carotid Stent?
It is the carotid stent process (also known as carotid coronary artery Stenting) is a minimally-invasive method that is designed to widen the carotid arteries and restore cerebral blood circulation.
Here’s how it is done:
- Diagnostics and Preparation:
The procedure starts by examining diagnostic images such like Doppler ultrasound CT imaging, or MRI to determine the severity and the location of the blockage.
- Catheter Insertion
With general anesthesia tiny catheter is inserted via tiny puncture on the wrist or groin and guided to the carotid artery by the latest imaging techniques.
- Balloon Angioplasty
The small balloon is inflated near the point of narrowing to increase the size of the blood vessel and make it ready for the placement of stents.
- Stent Placing:
A stent is a tiny mesh tube of metal that is placed within the artery in order to keep it open and avoid further narrowing.
- Complete:
Once the blood flow returns to normal the catheter is taken out and the puncture area is closed, causing minimal discomfort.
The procedure typically takes one hour. Most patients return home within 24 to 48 hours, which is just a fraction of the time required for recovery conventional surgical procedures.
