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.

Hi doctor! I went to carotid ultrasound and got the results: Right internal carotid artery narrowing <br/>26% and left common carotid stenosis <br/>17%. So the doctor asked me, is the ultrasound result of 26% stenosis of the internal carotid artery and <br/>17% of the left common carotid artery severe, doctor and how to treat it? Thank you doctor!
