Carotid Artery Stenting & Stroke Prevention
Carotid artery disease is a major cause of ischemic stroke, occurring when the main arteries supplying blood to the brain become narrowed or blocked. At Turkish Heart Center, we offer advanced Carotid Artery Stenting (CAS) with embolic protection devices—providing a safe, minimally invasive alternative to open carotid surgery (endarterectomy).
Minimally Invasive Stroke Prevention Technology
Carotid stenting requires extreme precision and dedicated brain protection. We utilize specialized micro-mesh filters (embolic protection systems) that capture any loose plaque particles during the procedure, ensuring zero debris reaches the brain. Guided by continuous hemodynamic monitoring, we restore optimal cerebral blood flow with minimal risk.
- Brain Protection: Advanced embolic filter baskets used in every procedure for maximum safety.
- No Neck Incisions: Performed via a tiny puncture in the wrist or groin without general anesthesia.
- High-Risk Surgical Alternative: Ideal for patients with severe heart disease or hostile neck anatomy.
Embolic Filter Safety
State-of-the-art brain protection systems safeguarding against procedure-related stroke risk.
Awake & Comfortable
Performed under local anesthesia, allowing continuous neurological assessment during the treatment.
Next-Day Discharge
Rapid recovery with overnight monitoring, avoiding surgical wound healing complications.
