Stroke Prevention in Vascular Surgery

Stroke prevention in vascular surgery focuses on reducing the risk of strokes by addressing problems in the blood vessels that can lead to clots or reduced blood flow to the brain. Common procedures include carotid endarterectomy, which removes plaque from neck arteries, and stenting, which opens narrowed vessels. Lifestyle changes, like a healthy diet, regular exercise, and managing conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes, are also crucial. By improving blood flow and preventing blockages, vascular surgery plays a key role in helping individuals maintain good brain health and reduce stroke risk.
