Diagnosis and treatment of carotid artery stenosis
Model: Angio-interventions Training SystemⅤ (FA006D)
Carotid artery stenosis is a common extracranial arterial disease that can lead to insufficient blood supply to the brain, resulting in cerebral ischemic symptoms. The main symptoms include dizziness, vertigo, and blurred vision. Early intervention with vascular surgery is recommended upon the detection of carotid artery stenosis or plaques.
Etiology
1.Atherosclerosis
2.Carotid artery dissection
3.Vasculopathies associated with development, inflammation, or autoimmune disorders (e.g., aorto-arteritis, fibromuscular dysplasia, moyamoya disease, etc)
Clinical Presentation
1.Some patients with mild to moderate carotid artery stenosis may be asymptomatic.
2.Cerebral ischemic symptoms: dizziness, decreased memory and orientation, altered consciousness, amaurosis, facial and/or limb numbness and/or weakness, deviation of the tongue, and speech difficulties.
3.Ischemic stroke
Risks and Consequences
Carotid artery stenosis is a significant risk factor for ischemic stroke. Severe cerebral infarction can result in disability or even death. The prevalence of carotid artery stenosis in individuals over 60 years old is approximately 9%. Therefore, carotid artery stenosis has become one of the leading "silent killers" affecting public health.
Treatment
1.General measures: Regular exercise, weight control, avoidance of obesity, smoking cessation, moderate alcohol consumption, control of blood pressure, blood glucose, and lipid levels.
2.Medications: Statins to lower lipids and stabilize atherosclerotic plaques, antiplatelet drugs (such as aspirin, clopidogrel).
3.Surgical treatment: Carotid endarterectomy (CEA).
Introducing the groundbreaking Angio-interventions Training System V, a revolutionary model that transcends the boundaries of traditional medical training. This state-of-the-art system redefines the way medical professionals simulate and master complex vascular lesions, including the notorious Carotid artery stenosis. From the femoral artery to the intricate branches of the cerebral arteries, this model offers an immersive experience like no other.
Imagine a meticulously crafted acrylic box housing a dynamic network of arteries, complete with a lifelike circle of Willis and an array of aneurysm lesions. But that's not all—this model goes even further. It flawlessly replicates the stenosis commonly found in the left carotid artery and right vertebral artery, as well as the challenging stenosis lesions in the coronary arteries. With its transparent connectors and replaceable sections, you have the power to customize the intricacies of the intracranial, thoracic, and abdominal regions to meet your specific training needs.
With the Angio-interventions Training System V, the realm of possibilities expands. Tailor each training session to your specific requirements, whether it's creating diverse carotid artery stenosis lesions or exploring complex anomalies within the vascular network. By fusing the invaluable knowledge from authoritative medical resources with this cutting-edge training system, you are embarking on a transformative journey that will revolutionize your medical practice and redefine the standard of care for patients with Carotid artery stenosis. It's time to break free from convention and embrace a new era of hands-on, immersive training.
