If left untreated, carotid artery narrowing can lead to stroke. Find out more with Dr. Dimitrios Virvilis from SBU's Dept. of Vascular Surgery. Attend in person or online.

Las arterias carótidas son dos arterias principales que transportan sangre rica en oxígeno desde el corazón hasta el cerebro, pasando por el cuello. Con la edad, la placa se acumula, estrechándolas y endureciéndolas. Si no se trata, el estrechamiento de la arteria carótida puede provocar un ictus. Obtenga más información con el Dr. Dimitrios Virvilis, del Departamento de Cirugía Vascular de la SBU. Asista en persona o en línea. Asista en persona o en línea.
