Description

This medical illustration provides a detailed depiction of carotid artery stenting, a minimally invasive procedure used to restore blood flow in patients with carotid artery stenosis. The image highlights the placement of a stent within the narrowed artery, helping to keep it open and reduce the risk of stroke. The process involves inserting a catheter with a balloon and stent through the femoral artery, carefully positioning it within the carotid artery to improve circulation. This visual serves as an essential educational resource for understanding the procedure’s steps, clinical benefits, and role in stroke prevention.
