3D Carotid Artery Stenting Animation Video

Carotid Artery Stenting is a minimally invasive medical procedure to treat narrowed or blocked carotid arteries, the arteries in the neck that supply blood to the head. The procedure involves inserting a catheter into the groin and advancing it to the carotid arteries in the neck. By inflating a small balloon inside the artery and then placing a metal mesh stent the narrowed or blocked artery is opened thereby increasing blood flow to the brain. This procedure may be performed on an emergency basis following a mini-stroke or a stroke, or an elective basis when conservative treatment measures have failed to relieve symptoms of Carotid Artery Disease.

Your Practice Online’s 3D video presentation of Carotid Artery Stenting explains Carotid Artery Disease and the minimally invasive procedure to treat it through the use of text, voice, images, and 3D animation. Patients are instructed on normal heart anatomy, symptoms and risk factors of Carotid Artery Disease, as well as the medical tests used to diagnose the disease. Management of Carotid Artery Disease is discussed including lifestyle changes, medications, and Carotid Artery Stenting for patients who do not respond to medications and lifestyle changes. Patients learn what to expect during Carotid Artery Stenting by viewing 3D animations of the procedure. Post operative care and risks and complications are also discussed to ensure the patient is able to make an informed decision on whether to undergo Carotid Artery Stenting.
