The Vascular Center- Varicose Vein Surgery in Aurangabad

Carotid angioplasty is a procedure to open narrowed arteries in the neck that supply blood to the brain, but it isn't recommended for everyone with some degree of narrowing — the decision depends on several specific factors. The carotid arteries can gradually narrow due to plaque buildup, a process similar to what happens in arteries of the heart. Not every narrowing needs a procedure; many cases with mild blockage are managed with medication and lifestyle changes alone. Carotid angioplasty tends to be considered when narrowing is significant, especially if it has already caused symptoms like a mini-stroke (also called a TIA), sudden weakness, slurred speech, or vision changes, or when imaging shows a high-risk blockage even without symptoms yet. The procedure itself is minimally invasive: a catheter is guided to the narrowed artery, a balloon widens it, and a stent is often placed to keep it open, reducing the risk of a future stroke. At The Vascular Center in Aurangabad, this decision is made only after a thorough evaluation of the degree of blockage and individual risk factors. If you or a family member has had symptoms like sudden weakness or vision changes, consult an experienced vascular specialist promptly for a proper evaluation. Aug 19, 2026 Call now
