BILATERAL CAROTID ARTERY STENOSIS IN A YOUNG MALE: A CASE REPORT

Mauricio Szuchmacher, Neil Parikh, Sneha Iyer, Chirag Dave, Manvinder Dhillon, Alejandro Franco

Abstract


Symptomatic carotid artery stenosis requires immediate evaluation and treatment to prevent ischemic and embolic stroke. In this case report, we will describe the assessment and subsequent surgical treatment of a patient with bilateral high-grade stenosis of the carotid arteries.
