CAROTID ARTERY TREATMENTS
Stroke is a serious health problem affecting more and more people today.
According to researches, it is the second most common cause of death in Europe.
Approximately 10-20% of stroke cases are the atherosclerotic disease of the carotid artery.
10-15% of all stroke cases develop as a result of thrombosis due to carotid stenosis of more than 50% without any previous symptoms.
Contraction of the carotid artery as a result of plaques can be treated intravenously using closed systems other than surgery.
With closed angiographic systems, the stent can be restored to its original diameter without incision and without the need for general anesthesia, and the plates are left out of circulation.
During these procedures, the protection device placed inside the vein protects the brain from the risk of a possible clot discharge by keeping the clots that may occur during the procedure.
