When plaque buildup severely narrows a carotid artery, carotid stenting offers a minimally invasive way to improve blood flow and prevent stroke. This procedure involves inserting a small metal mesh tube, called a stent, into the artery to keep it open. Performed under local anesthesia, it’s often an alternative for patients who may not be ideal candidates for open surgery.
At Radiance Clinic, Thane, Dr Ashish Sarode, a board certified vascular and interventional radiologist, carotid stenting is carried out with precision and advanced imaging guidance. The process starts with a detailed vascular evaluation to ensure suitability, followed by careful placement of the stent to restore circulation. Recovery is usually quick, allowing patients to resume normal activities within days.
Untreated carotid artery blockages can cause severe neurological damage. Choosing early intervention through carotid stenting can be a lifesaving decision. Contact us today to learn more about your treatment options.
