The goal of healthy eating and living is to keep the cardiovascular system healthy, strong and free from blockages. These blockages can lead to strokes. Prevention is key!

However, if you find that your carotid artery is blocked, there is a procedure that Dr. Alan Benvenisty offers to free it from blockages. Carotid Endarterectomy is performed when you have a moderate blockage or stenosis of your carotid artery and are exhibiting symptoms associated with a stroke or a mini stroke. Even if you’re not exhibiting any symptoms, if you are found to have an arterial blockage of 80%, a carotid endarterectomy may be suggested.

If you desire freedom from a blocked carotid artery, call Dr. Alan Benvensitry Vascular Surgeon today. He can diagnose and offer relief from a variety of cardiovascular blockages you may be experiencing.
