Occlusion and stenosis of other cerebral artery - what does this mean
Occlusion and stenosis of other cerebral artery is a condition where a narrowing or blockage of one of the arteries supplying blood to the brain occurs. this can be caused by a buildup of fatty deposits (atherosclerosis) or a blood clot, and can lead to reduced blood flow, resulting in stroke, brain damage, or even death.
What happens during the disease - occlusion and stenosis of other cerebral artery
Occlusion and stenosis of other cerebral artery is caused by a build up of cholesterol and other fatty deposits in the arteries, which can lead to a decrease in blood flow to the brain. this can result in a disruption in the normal functioning of the brain, leading to neurological symptoms such as stroke, weakness, and cognitive deficits.

Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: To treat occlusion and stenosis of other cerebral artery
- Administering medications to reduce inflammation and improve blood flow
- Performing angioplasty to open blocked arteries
- Using a stent to keep the artery open
- Performing a carotid endarterectomy to remove plaque from the artery
- Administering anticoagulants to prevent blood clots
- Performing bypass surgery to reroute blood flow around the blocked artery
- Undergoing physical therapy to improve mobility and balance
16 Days of Hospitalization Required
