If the renal artery stenosis causes less than 50% narrowing of the artery and if kidney function is maintained, medications that block the actions of angiotensin [for example, captopril (Capoten), enalapril (Vasotec), losartan (Cozaar)] may be used in association with routine monitoring of the...

The relationship between focal neurologic symptoms, carotid artery stenosis, and cervical bruits was studied in 495 patients. Among the 990 carotid arteries, 562 (57%) were considered to be symptomatic and 505 (51%) were associated with bruit. There was a linear relationship between the degree ...

Carotid artery diseaseis also calledcarotid arterystenosis. The term refers to the narrowing of the carotidarteries. This narrowing is usually caused by the buildup of fatty substances and cholesterol deposits, called plaque. Carotid artery occlusion refers to complete blockage of the artery. When th...
Ultrasoundis the most common screening test used to determine whether carotid artery stenosis (narrowing) is present. Sound waves are used to understand the anatomy of the artery to see whether narrowing is present. Adding Doppler technology, the amount of blood flow and its velocity can be measu...
