Hello,
With the question “How is cerebral ischemia due to carotid artery occlusion treated? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
You did not specify whether your father had a stroke due to carotid artery occlusion, so the doctor cannot give you exact advice. Carotid occlusion may or may not be symptomatic (eg, in cases of chronic occlusion or with good collateral circulation). When carotid occlusion, you should take your father to a neurologist to do all the tests to screen for stroke risk. Depending on the test results, the doctors will give you appropriate advice and treatment.
Normally, patients with cerebral infarction and/or carotid artery occlusion should be treated for stroke prevention with anti-embolic drugs, blood lipid-lowering drugs. You can give your father some drugs that protect brain cells such as piracetam, citicolin, ginko giloba. However, you should follow your doctor's instructions.
If you still have questions about cerebral ischemia, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wish you a lot of health.
Best regards!
