"When stenosis exceeds 60%, medical or procedural intervention is typically required to restore normal blood flow to the brain and prevent permanent neurological damage."
What is Carotid Artery Disease?
Carotid artery disease is a serious condition caused by the progressive narrowing of the two major blood vessels in the neck that carry oxygenated blood to the brain.
This narrowing results from atherosclerosis, a process in which plaque (composed of cholesterol, calcium, fat, and fibrous tissue) accumulates on the inner walls of the arteries. Over time, the plaque hardens the arterial walls, restricts cerebral blood flow, and significantly elevates the risk of stroke and transient ischemic attacks (TIA).
The condition often develops silently over many years. When stenosis exceeds 60%, medical or procedural intervention is typically required to restore normal blood flow to the brain and prevent permanent neurological damage.
Causes and Risk Factors
Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): The primary driver of atherosclerotic arterial wall damage.
Dyslipidaemia: Elevated LDL and low HDL cholesterol levels that accelerate plaque build-up.
Diabetes Mellitus: Insulin resistance and high blood sugar hastening vascular disease progression.
Smoking and Tobacco: Chemicals that destabilise existing plaque and accelerate arterial stenosis.
Obesity and Inactivity: Contributing to metabolic dysfunction and poor overall cardiovascular fitness.
Non-Modifiable Factors: Advanced age, male sex, and family history increasing the total disease burden.
Warning Signs & Symptoms
These symptoms often appear as stenosis progresses and must never be ignored. Seek immediate evaluation if you experience:
TIA (Mini-stroke): Temporary neurological deficits : resolving within 24 hours
Amaurosis fugax - sudden, temporary loss of vision in one eye due to reduced retinal blood flow
Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm, or leg on one side of the body
Slurred speech, difficulty speaking, or trouble understanding language
Sudden dizziness, loss of balance, or loss of coordination
Severe unexplained headache
Treatment Options for Carotid Artery Disease
At Fortis Hospital Mohali, Dr. Ravul Jindal offers a full spectrum of evidence-based carotid artery disease treatment options tailored to each patient's stenosis severity, symptom status, and overall vascular health.
Carotid Angioplasty & Stenting
A catheter-guided stent compresses plaque, widens the artery, and restores cerebral blood flow achieving a 90-95% success rate in just 30-45 minutes.
Carotid Endarterectomy (CEA)
A precise surgical incision directly removes atherosclerotic plaque from the carotid artery, permanently restoring normal blood flow to the brain with exceptional surgical precision.
Recovery and Aftercare
Hospital Monitoring: Post-treatment observation for 1 to 2 days before discharge.
Antiplatelet Therapy: Dual therapy (Aspirin & Clopidogrel) to ensure long-term stent/artery health.
Surveillance: Regular Doppler ultrasound scans to monitor blood flow and stent patency.
Lifestyle Shifts: Strict avoidance of smoking/alcohol and adopting a low-fat, heart-healthy diet.
Management: Rigorous control of blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
Ongoing follow-up is essential to ensure long-term vascular health and stroke prevention.
