With the current level of medicine, can t the plaque in the neck arteries be removed?

It can be removed, but it is not as simple as we think, this surgery is difficult and risky, and most doctors will not recommend it.

1. Carotid plaque is closely related to our age, blood sugar, blood pressure, and dietary habits. Carotid plaque is a manifestation of atherogenesis, and the elderly are the most common group, but some adolescents also have carotid plaque.

Second, for carotid plaque, it is generally conservative to take medication, but surgery can also be removed, which is also the current status of medical technology for carotid plaque. But since there is such a good method, it is not too recommended in medicine. Generally, drugs are taken to prolong the cycle of carotid plaque, and now the only drugs that can ** carotid plaque are statin drugs.

It is very important that statins inhibit the development of atherosclerosis, so most of us have carotid plaque due to atherosclerosis. Taking statins can not only reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases, but also inhibit the aggregation of platelets and reduce the formation of blood clots, so statin drugs are the first choice for atherogenesis. However, some patients have reacted that they have taken statins for many years, and the plaque still does not disappear, which is a long process, if they learn more blood fat deposits, and there have been plaques for many years, then this drug can not eliminate the plaque, with the increase of age, the blood vessels are also aging, which will further aggravate the occurrence of atherosclerosis, and taking statin drugs can reduce the probability of atherosclerosis does not mean that it will not occur.

3. The surgery can indeed remove carotid plaque, which can be said to be a relatively safe and mature operation. Any surgery is risky, not to mention the removal of carotid plaque, if the operation will aggravate the occurrence of blood clots, some serious will also cause blood vessel rupture, and even can not get out of the operating room, this operation is extremely risky, so doctors generally do not use surgery to remove carotid plaque.

Now that medicine is very advanced, it is possible to see the inside of the brain and the lining of blood vessels through instruments. One-third of blood clots in patients with cerebral infarction are plaques in the carotid arteries. After the age of 40, many people have carotid plaque, and after the age of 60, most people will have carotid plaque.

In order to remove carotid plaque and reduce the incidence of cerebral infarction, there are two ways, one is to remove it directly by surgery, and the other is to use drugs and other methods to dilate blood vessels and reduce the loss of plaque.

Let's talk about these two ways to remove plaque.

1. Surgery to remove carotid plaque.

Carotid plaque is the accumulation of fat in the carotid artery wall, the accumulation of more and more fat, combined with the deposition of some calcium, the blood vessel wall will thicken, harden, and the appearance will turn yellow, like porridge, which is what we often hear about atherosclerosis. These plaques are not stable, when the blood pressure suddenly rises or other triggers, the plaques are not stable enough, easy to fall off, with the blood flow to the brain, in the small blood vessels are prone to congestion, and cerebral infarction occurs.

If atherosclerosis of the neck is detected by examination, 70% of the arteries can be softened, or 50% of the arteries can be operated on, or 70% of the arteries can be operated if there are no symptoms but 70% of the arteries are stenosis. This method is the simplest and most intuitive, that is, if there is plaque, the blood vessel is cut, the plaque is peeled off, and then the blood vessel is sutured.

Another way is to use a stent to support the blood vessels that have become narrow in the neck with a stent, which is the same as a stent for coronary arteries, so that the plaque will be squeezed between the intima of the blood vessels and the stent, and the pipes of the blood vessels can be restored to supply blood normally to achieve the purpose of **.

The method of surgery is **plaque treatment**, which has no effect on plaques in other places where there is no surgery. It also does not inhibit the reformation of plaque.

2. Non-surgical method to remove carotid plaque.

Not all plaques need surgery, some plaques do not affect blood flow**, even if the inner wall of the blood vessel is narrow, surgery is not necessary for the time being, and it can be controlled by some other methods. Some plaque-stabilizing medications can be taken to stabilize the plaque, and some antiplatelet medications can be taken to control the formation of blood clots.

For all plaques, whether stable or unstable, no matter how severe, it is important to control your diet and adopt a healthy lifestyle. Plaque is the result of atherosclerosis, and an unhealthy lifestyle can aggravate atherosclerosis, so it is necessary to control the diet and control the three highs.

The diet needs to be low-salt, low-fat, low-sugar diet, control weight, if overweight, be sure**.

Stay up less late and get enough sleep.

Quit smoking and limit alcohol, tobacco and alcohol have certain damage to the inner wall of blood vessels, so stay away from tobacco and alcohol.

Be physically active and avoid sitting for long periods of time. If you don't exercise for a long time, it's very bad for your body, so you must do physical activity and do aerobic exercise more than 3 times a week.

In short, prevention is greater than **, we should stay away from these risk factors from an early age, and don't wait until the arterial endothelium has been atherosclerosis before thinking about maintaining your blood vessels.

Can't get rid of it. Due to the large arteries connected to the carotid arteries, if the plaque is in that place, it cannot be removed with the current level of medicine, and it can be life-threatening if you are not careful.

With aggressive lifestyle changes and statin-based lipid-lowering drugs**, atherosclerotic plaques can become relatively more stable and have very limited regression.

The formation of carotid plaque is a hidden process, and most people do not experience uncomfortable symptoms, which can only be detected during a physical examination. Therefore, if you find that there is plaque in your carotid artery during the physical examination, you must follow the doctor's instructions at this time**. Because the neck is also more important, if there is a disease in the neck, the neck can not be lifted will also affect people's mood, and even affect the appearance.

So if there is arterial plaque in the neck, is it really necessary?

As mentioned above, the appearance of arterial plaque in the neck is a very secret condition that is not discovered by ordinary people, and can only be found by others or during a physical examination. Therefore, many people will be more anxious after discovering that they have arterial plaque in their neck, thinking that they have a very serious illness, but they do not need to be anxious. Because this is a chronic disease, it will not cause particularly much harm to the human body in a short period of time.

But if the patient has not been **, the disease will become more serious, thus threatening the health of the body, so if the patient finds that he has carotid plaque, he must be timely **, can not delay. Each of us is responsible for our own body, and we can't ignore the manifestations of physical illness, if we ignore it, you will regret it.

The following is an introduction to the dangers of carotid plaque, I hope to be able to provide you with some help. Carotid plaque is a vascular disease, if it has not been **, the plaque will get bigger and bigger, and even affect the blood supply, making people's bodies particularly uncomfortable, and will also lead to the production of three highs. Therefore, after discovering this disease, it must be timely and not valued.

If carotid plaque ulcers, people are more likely to suffer from cerebral artery plaque ulcers, which is an important reason for many patients to suffer from brain diseases.

Carotid plaque is needed, and currently mainly relies on life interventions, drugs, surgery and other methods. The specific occurrence of carotid plaque is not clear, and may be related to factors such as hyperlipidemia, diabetes, smoking, alcoholism, genetics, advanced age, obesity, etc., if not paid attention to for a long time, it is very easy to cause infarct symptoms after plaque detachment. Patients should pay attention to a light diet, avoid greasy and high-salt foods, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, increase physical exercise, and quit smoking and alcohol.

Statins can be used to control blood lipids as prescribed, and blood pressure and blood sugar can be controlled with drugs.

Yes, it is needed, this situation is more serious, and if there are other problems, it will endanger people's lives.

This condition needs to be **, and the appearance of this condition is caused by atherosclerosis, so we must pay more attention and be sure to go to the hospital for **.

If there is arterial plaque in the neck, you must go to the hospital in time**, and you must not delay it to avoid causing greater damage to your body.

Theoretically, carotid plaque is removed.

These include surgical and medical methods, but each has its own indications and may not all be removed. Furthermore, even if the carotid plaque is removed, it does not mean that everything is fine, but only that the local plaque is removed. On the one hand, there is plaque in other blood vessels, and on the other hand, the location of the original plaque may be new.

Arterial plaque is a degenerative disease that cannot be eliminated. As we age, the arterial endothelium is affected by physical and chemical factors, hardening after injury. In this case, only medications can be used to relieve symptoms, stabilize the plaque, and prevent the plaque from falling off and forming a blood clot.

Carotid plaques are particularly dangerous, and plaque detachment can cause cerebral artery embolism. Dizziness occurs.

Symptoms such as headache and even syncope. Patients with carotid plaque should be aware of a low-fat, low-salt diet. Keep your blood pressure within the normal range. Change your unhealthy lifestyle, have a regular schedule, and exercise appropriately. Follow your doctor's instructions.

Long-term use of antiplatelets.

drugs to prevent the occurrence of such diseases.

The simplest and most intuitive method is surgery, which uses surgical stripping, which is to cut the carotid artery, peel off the plaque directly, and then suture the blood vessel so that the plaque is removed. However, this surgery is not suitable for every patient with carotid plaque because of the risks, and many carotid plaques are not so serious that surgery is not necessary. For symptomatic noninvasive testing, i.e., color Doppler ultrasound.

70% of carotid artery stenosis can be surgically or angiography.

Carotid artery stenosis can be operated in 50% or asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis in 70% of cases. Of course, this surgery will remove the plaque directly, and there is another surgical stent, by placing the stent inside the blood vessel in the neck, with the stent to support the narrow blood vessel lumen, with the coronary artery of the heart.

The bracket is the same. In this way, the plaque will be squeezed between the stent and the intima of the blood vessels, and the normal blood will be restored to achieve the purpose.

All plaques, whether stable or unstable, no matter how severe, should be followed by a healthy lifestyle to control the three highs. Because the essence of plaque is atherosclerosis.

An unhealthy lifestyle and uncontrolled three highs can lead to the aggravation of atherosclerosis, and all healthy living and control of the three highs are the basis for the prevention and control of atherosclerosis. This requires all patients with carotid plaque to eat a low-salt, low-oil and low-sugar diet, adhere to appropriate exercise, quit smoking and alcohol, do not sit for a long time, do not stay up late, reduce stress, and actively control the three highs.

The new science** is able to eliminate carotid plaque at the root because the new science** directly unclogs the blood vessels.

The new science** can dredge the blood vessels directly from outside the body without any surgery, so that the blood circulation can return to normal. It eliminates the hidden dangers and troubles of doing imaging and stents.

This new scientific ** was invented by Mr. Fan Changxi, a contemporary scientist in China, so it was named Fan Zi**. Fan Zi** can directly dredge blood vessels from outside the body, clean up the garbage in the blood vessels, and restore blood circulation to normal. It does not require medicine, injection, surgery, or any medical materials such as light, electricity, magnetism, infrared, etc., which is convenient and fast; It is the self that patients give themselves at home, which has regained the health of more than one million patients, and has been highly praised by users at home and abroad!

Science and Technology **" on April 23, 2009, "People**" (overseas edition) on October 16, 2009, "Xinhua News Agency" on October 20, 2009 and many other ** have successively reported on Fan Zi**.

If you want to understand in detail about the Fan character invented by Mr. Fan Changxi, you must visit the Fan character **official**, because many of them are counterfeit and counterfeit.

There is no way to eliminate, there are some drugs, but they can have a controlling effect, and it is not easy to eliminate them in general.

Of course it can be eliminated. You must eat more vitamins, eat more vegetables and fruits, exercise more, supplement protein, supplement sleep, and don't stay up late.

Carotid artery plaque is mainly a manifestation of atherosclerosis in the neck, cervical artery plaque is mainly related to the bifurcation of the carotid artery, as well as ischemic brain disease, because this disease will affect the blood circulation of the human brain, and even lead to cerebral thrombosis and brain, therefore, once the symptoms of carotid artery plaque appear, it should be timely to avoid serious consequences.

Cervical plaque cannot be eliminated, and the plaque can generally be narrowed by standardized drugs**, and surgical intervention can be selected for severe carotid plaque. During the illness, patients should try to quit smoking and alcohol, exercise moderately, and eat less salty or oily food, so as to better control the progression of plaque.

Even if the carotid plaque can be temporarily removed through drugs and surgery, if you do not pay attention to a healthy life and a healthy diet, it will also lead to the regrowth of carotid plaque.

Patients with carotid plaque must control salt intake, the human body ingests too much salt will have an impact on the metabolic system, but also will increase the pressure of vascular transport, there is a great risk of carotid plaque, therefore, it is best to take a light diet in the daily diet to control salt intake.

Patients with carotid plaque must have regular examinations, because carotid plaques will grow again, so regular examinations can timely detect some diseases of the body, in order to prevent plaques from reappearing.

Patients with carotid plaque should pay attention to balanced nutrition in their diet, carotid plaque is a cardiovascular disease, patients should try to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits in their diet, supplement the vitamins needed by the human body, meet the nutrients required by the human body, and maintain the normal flow of blood vessels.

Patients with carotid plaque will have some uncomfortable symptoms, dizziness is a relatively common symptom, because carotid plaque occurs in the blood vessels on both sides of the neck, once the condition is aggravated, it will be life-threatening, therefore, patients with carotid plaque must be active to control the development of the disease.
