Carotid artery stenting is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat carotid artery stenosis, a condition where the carotid arteries, which supply blood to the brain, become narrowed. During the procedure, a stent is inserted into the artery to keep it open and restore normal blood flow to the brain. This procedure is often performed in conjunction with angioplasty.

Carotid artery stenting is effective in reducing the risk of stroke and improving blood circulation to the brain, particularly in patients who are not candidates for carotid endarterectomy (surgery).

This treatment helps prevent stroke, improve brain function, and reduce the risk of other cerebrovascular events.
