Carotid artery disease develops when fatty deposits accumulate in the carotid arteries, which are responsible for supplying oxygen-rich blood to the brain. This narrowing can gradually increase the risk of stroke, sometimes without noticeable symptoms in the early stages. Warning signs may include temporary weakness on one side of the body, slurred speech, blurred vision, or sudden dizziness—often referred to as transient ischemic attacks (TIAs). Early detection through carotid Doppler ultrasound and advanced imaging such as CT or MR angiography allows precise measurement of blockage severity. Treatment depends on the degree of narrowing and patient risk profile. Mild cases may be managed with medication, blood thinners, cholesterol control, and strict blood pressure management. Moderate to severe cases may require carotid endarterectomy or minimally invasive carotid artery stenting to remove or bypass the blockage. Timely surgical care significantly reduces stroke risk and improves long-term neurological safety. Post-procedure monitoring and lifestyle modification are essential components of recovery. At the Carotid Surgery Centre in Kalkaji, Dr. Naveen Chobdar provides comprehensive vascular evaluation, advanced surgical expertise, and preventive care strategies focused on protecting brain circulation and minimizing the long-term risk of stroke.
