Carotid artery health is one of the most critical pillars of preventive medicine. As a vascular specialist, Dr. Juan Carlos Peralvo focuses on detecting and treating carotid stenosis, a condition where plaque buildup narrows the arteries supplying blood to the brain, serving as the leading cause of strokes.
Factors such as stress and diet can accelerate these arterial problems, making professional check-ups essential.
What is Carotid Stenosis and How to Detect It?
Carotid stenosis is often a silent disease. Many patients show no symptoms until they suffer a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA). A vascular specialist uses high-precision tools to identify this risk before an emergency occurs.
Warning Symptoms (TIA)
- Sudden numbness in the face or limbs.
- Sudden difficulty speaking or understanding others.
- Partial or total loss of vision in one eye.
Advanced Carotid Surgery Treatments
Dr. Juan Carlos Peralvo offers cutting-edge solutions to clear or open these arteries, ensuring safe blood flow to the brain. Among the procedures highlighted in our specialized services section are:
- Carotid Endarterectomy: Precision surgery to remove plaque from the artery.
- Carotid Angioplasty and Stenting: A minimally invasive method using a small balloon and a mesh to keep the artery open.
The Importance of Vascular Technology
Having a vascular specialist who uses advanced Doppler technology is fundamental. This study measures blood velocity and the degree of obstruction painlessly and without radiation. For more information on arterial health guidelines, you can consult the Society for Vascular Surgery.
