Carotid revascularization is a medical procedure that involves restoring blood flow to the carotid arteries, which are the two main arteries in the neck that supply blood to the brain. This procedure is typically performed in patients who have blockages or narrowing in their carotid arteries, which can increase the risk of stroke. There are two main types of carotid revascularization procedures: carotid endarterectomy and carotid artery stenting. Carotid endarterectomy involves surgically removing the blockage from the carotid artery, while carotid artery stenting involves inserting a stent (a small mesh tube) into the artery to keep it open and allow blood to flow freely. Carotid revascularization is often recommended for patients who have symptoms of carotid artery disease, such as transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) or minor strokes. It can help reduce the risk of future strokes and improve overall quality of life for patients with carotid artery disease.
