How Does the Procedure Work?

Carotid angioplasty and stenting are minimally invasive procedures that will open up your blocked arteries so that blood can flow freely to your brain. After we have confirmed that you would be an eligible candidate for a carotid angioplasty and stenting procedure, our doctors will confirm a procedure date with you. During the procedure, our professionals will insert a catheter, or small tube, into the blood vessel that is located in the groin. This tube will be advanced to the carotid artery where we will inflate a balloon. The balloon is then inflated to open up the artery so that we can place the stent, which will keep it open. When the procedure is completed, we will remove the catheter and the balloon. The incision site will be dressed, and you will be placed in recovery for several hours.
