To read more about the latest highlights related to the carotid artery stent market, get a snapshot of the key highlights entailed in the Carotid artery stenting is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat carotid artery disease, a condition where the carotid arteries, located in the neck, become narrowed or blocked by the buildup of plaque. During the procedure, a slender tube called a catheter is inserted into an artery, usually in the groin, and guided to the carotid artery under X-ray imaging.
Once in place, a stent—a small mesh tube—is expanded within the narrowed portion of the artery, pushing aside the plaque and restoring blood flow to the brain. This technique is an alternative to carotid endarterectomy, a surgical procedure that involves opening the carotid artery and removing the plaque. While carotid artery stenting is less invasive compared to surgery, it's not without risks.
Complications can include stroke, bleeding at the puncture site, or the formation of blood clots. However, for certain patients, such as those deemed high-risk for surgery due to other health conditions, or those with difficult-to-reach blockages, carotid artery stenting can be a valuable treatment optio.
