One of the most common diagnoses that vascular patients present with is carotid artery stenosis. It is due to reduced arterial flow through one and/or multiple aspects of the carotid arterial system. This can be due to atherosclerotic plaque or several other potential causes. When left untreated, it can lead to significant cerebrovascular incidents, including strokes, transient ischemic attacks, and amaurosis fugax. The following section covers the anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, physical exam, management, and varying treatment options for carotid artery stenosis and its many variations.
