To restore blood flow and stop additional strokes, a small, expandable tube called a stent is inserted into the neck’s constricted carotid artery. Patients with severe carotid artery narrowing who are at high risk for surgery or who have already experienced stroke symptoms are eligible for carotid stenting.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Using sophisticated imaging, a thin catheter is first inserted, typically through a groin artery, and guided to the artery in the brain that is impacted. A tiny balloon on the catheter is inflated once it is in place to enlarge the constricted artery (angioplasty). A tiny metal mesh tube known as a stent is frequently inserted inside the artery to maintain its openness over time. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
