Carotid Disease
Carotid Disease
The carotid arteries in the neck supply blood to the brain.
If plaque builds up in the carotid arteries, it can result in either a mini-stroke (TIA) or a stroke.
Even if you do not have symptoms, a single ultrasound scan of your neck can predict if you are at risk of developing a stroke.
Mr O’Brien will discuss your best management options – these include medication, surgery or a stent.
Surgery involves removing the plaque from the inside of the artery.
The ultimate benefit of carotid surgery is reducing your risk of having a future stroke.
