Cervical Carotid Artery Stent Procedure

The provider places an intravascular stent into a cervical carotid artery under imaging guidance. The provider may place the stent through a percutaneous catheter or via an open incision. The provider also places an embolic protection device in the artery before placement of the stent. The provider may perform an angioplasty, i.e., removal of plaque from the lining of the artery. The provider uses imaging guidance or angiography to confirm placement of the devices. The provider performs this procedure to treat carotid artery stenosis, or narrowing of the artery.
