What is the treatment for clogged arteries in the neck?

Answer by  mammakat (11147)

Balloon angioplasty can be used, or a surgery called carotid endarterectomy to remove plaque. In extreme conditions, keeping one artery open and functioning will be preferred to avoid surgical problems.

Clogged arteries are developed due to atherosclerosis. You can treat it with the usual treatment for atherosclerosis: low fat diet, salt reduction, omega-3 fatty acids, anticoagulants and exercise. The disease may be treated with surgery if the clog reduces the blood flow causing brain ischemia symptoms like fainting, motility and sensational problems, headaches and etc.
