At Chand Vascular and Diabetic Foot Clinic, we realize that carotid artery disease is a dangerous condition that needs the attention and treatment of experts without any delay. Under the guidance of Dr. Luv Luthra, our Best Carotid Artery Disease Treatment in Ludhiana, we provide comprehensive treatment for patients suffering from carotid artery blockages and related vascular conditions.
What is Carotid Artery Disease?
Carotid arteries are very crucial blood veins that are present on both sides of your neck and are responsible for providing oxygen-abundant blood to your head and brain. The build-up of plaques in these arteries (atherosclerosis) to make the arteries narrow or blocked poses a very high risk of developing a stroke too. Carotid arteries that are healthy have a smooth inner lining, which becomes rough and irregular with the deposits of fat and this development develops dangerous situations where the blood can clot and travel to the brain.
The Warning Signs Recognized
The carotid artery disease commonly follows the symptoms of transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), also known as mini-stroke, before a massive stroke. It is very important to note the following warning signs:
- Numbness, weakness, or paralysis of one side of the body suddenly
- One-sided drooping of the face or mouth
- Loss of sight or blindness in one eye (a curtain falling)
- Trouble, inconsistency talking or slurred words
- Difficulty in coordination or balance absence
These are temporary symptoms experienced during a TIA but they are some of the most important warning signs that need urgent medical intervention.
Risk Factors and Prevention
You are more likely to develop carotid artery disease when you have high cholesterol, diabetes, or high blood pressure. Such medical problems create an extra burden of pressure on your blood vessels including those that lead blood to your brain through your neck. This is why early care is very essential.
We at our hospital assist patients in coping with these risks through a combination of periodic check-ups, proper medications, and smart but effective lifestyle modifications. Without even going into details it can be stated that it is possible to live with these conditions being on top of them, which can have quite a difference further on..
Accurate Testing with Modern Tools Helps Proper Diagnosis
As one of the Best doctor for Carotid Artery Surgery in Ludhiana, we advice the most advanced diagnostic equipment to find out exactly what’s going on inside your arteries. Our team relies on the following tests:
- Carotid Duplex Ultrasound: This is the type of examination that can be done easily and without pain since it involves the use of sound waves to examine the condition of the neck arteries' blood flow.
- CT Angiography: It is a more enhanced scan that applies an additional special dye in order to make doctors view your arteries better.
- Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA): This is a non-invasive examination, which employs the use of magnetic waves rather than X-rays to provide detailed pictures of how your blood vessels are.
- Conventional Angiogram: This is where a dye is injected into your blood vessels and an X-ray is done so as to give a very clear image of any blockages or any narrowing.
These tests will assist us to know more about your condition and, thus, we shall help you to take the most efficient treatment path.
Comprehensive Treatment Options

Surgical Interventions
