What is Cerebrovascular Disease

The blood flow to the brain is supplied by four main arteries to different areas inside and when the blood vessels burst or is blocked, a stroke may happen immediately. Stroke is a very common problem in the elderly and consists of two types:

Hemorrhagic: Internal bleeding of the brain.

Ischemic: Lack of blood supply to the brain. Ischemic strokes are much more common and is directly related to the blockage of artery supplying blood to the brain.

Symptoms

Dizziness, nausea or vomiting
Sudden vision problems in one or both eyes
Sudden numbness on side of the body
Difficulty in speaking
Severe headache

Treatment

Depending on severity of the problem, treatment can be divided into 3 types.

If the problem is mild, medication can usually take care of it. Medication usually involves using agents to prevent blood clotting and tablets to lower cholesterol. This will help to delay artery blockage worsening.
For more severe problems (more than 70% blockage), surgery to clear out the blood clots directly will be the best scientifically proven option (Carotid Endarterectomy). This also prevent strokes.
In certain cases where surgery cannot be performed safely due to general anesthesia risk, hostile neck and poor patient conditions, balloon and stents (angioplasty & stenting) can be done instead using X-ray guidance to improve blood flow to the brain. This remains slightly inferior to surgery with a higher chance of recurrence of the blockage.

Services offered:

Carotid Screening before surgery
Carotid Endarterectomy
Carotid Stenting
