Carotid Artery Stenosis/Disease Diagnosis and Management

Carotid Artery Disease is a serious condition that requires vigilant management to reduce the risk of stroke. At CC Vascular Medicine and Imaging, Dr. Carmel Celestin applies her extensive expertise in vascular screening techniques, including advanced Carotid Intima‑Media Thickness (CIMT) exams, to assess arterial health comprehensively and detect disease at its earliest stages.

Why Carotid Artery Screening Matters

• Carotid artery stenosis occurs when plaque builds up and narrows the arteries supplying blood to the brain.
• This narrowing increases the risk of stroke and transient ischemic attacks (TIAs).
• Early detection through ultrasound and CIMT testing allows for timely intervention and prevention.

Our Diagnostic Approach

We use state‑of‑the‑art imaging to evaluate:

• Blood flow through the carotid arteries
• Thickness of the arterial wall (CIMT)
• Presence of plaque or narrowing
• Overall vascular health and risk factors

Personalized Management Strategies

Our approach emphasizes preventive care and includes:

• Lifestyle modifications (nutrition, exercise, smoking cessation, stress management)
• Medication management to control blood pressure, cholesterol, and clotting risk
• Weight management programs tailored to vascular health
• Nutritional supplements to support circulation and reduce inflammation

You’ll benefit from minimal wait times, direct access to Dr. Celestin, and compassionate, consistent care designed to protect your long‑term health.
