What is another word for carotid stenting?
Pronunciation: [kəɹˈɒtɪd stˈɛntɪŋ] (IPA) 
Carotid stenting is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat a narrowing or blockage in the carotid artery, the main blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain. It is also known as carotid angioplasty and stenting or CAS. Other synonyms for carotid stenting include carotid artery stent placement, carotid artery revascularization, carotid endarterectomy, and carotid artery bypass surgery. The primary goal of carotid stenting is to prevent strokes by restoring blood flow to the brain, which can be compromised by plaque buildup in the carotid artery. Patients who undergo carotid stenting typically experience improved blood flow and reduced risk of stroke.
