Angioplasty - Cerebral Angioplasty
Cerebral Angioplasty
Cerebral angioplasty is similar to a widely used cardiology procedure and is used to open partially blocked vertebral and carotid arteries in the neck, as well as blood vessels within the brain.
Stenting of carotid or vertebral arteries and large cerebral veins involves use of a fine, tubular wire mesh to hold the vessel open.
