Platilog, sold under the brand name Plavix, is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. It is an antiplatelet medication used to reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke in people at high risk.

Cerebrovascular accident is a common disease in the elderly, but now this disease has a risk of rejuvenation, even seen in people at a very young age. There are many causes of cerebrovascular accident, of which carotid artery stenosis is the most common cause.

Cerebrovascular accident is a disease with a high risk of death, after cancer and cardiovascular disease. Patients can also experience severe post-stroke sequelae such as lifelong disability.

Carotid atherosclerosis and carotid stenosis are the main causes of carotid artery disease. Fatty plaques are deposited inside the blood vessels, also known as plaques, which block the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the brain and head structures. Carotid artery disease is strongly associated with stroke when blood flow to the brain is severely reduced.

Before every surgery, no matter how big or small, the doctor needs to predict the level of success, failure, the risk of possible complications for his patients. Therefore, it is always required that at least one pre-anesthesia visit be performed at least 24 hours prior to commencing surgery.

Carotid computed tomography with contrast injection is a highly sensitive and specific imaging technique that is widely used to diagnose neurovascular diseases.

Carotid artery stenosis is a narrowing of the large arteries on either side of the neck that carry blood to the head, face, and brain. It is usually the result of plaque buildup in the arteries, a process called atherosclerosis. Carotid artery stenosis can get worse over time and can completely block the artery, leading to a stroke.

Carotid ultrasound of the neck is a widely used method to detect early atherosclerotic plaques that cause carotid artery stenosis and aneurysms. This method helps predict the risk of stroke effectively.
