Angioplastia y colocaci贸n de stent en la arteria car贸tida - Recovery

Nombres alternativos

Angioplastia y colocaci贸n de stent en la car贸tida; CAS; Endarterectom铆a de la arteria car贸tida; Angioplastia de la arteria car贸tida

Despu茅s del procedimiento:

Usted puede tener un drenaje en el cuello que entra hasta la incisi贸n y drena el l铆quido que se acumula en el 谩rea. 脡ste se retira al cabo de un d铆a.

Despu茅s de la cirug铆a, el m茅dico le puede solicitar que se quede en el hospital de un d铆a para otro para que las enfermeras puedan observarlo y ver si hay cualquier signo de sangrado, accidente cerebrovascular o circulaci贸n deficiente al cerebro. Usted quiz谩 se pueda ir para su casa el mismo d铆a si el procedimiento se hace temprano en el d铆a y usted est谩 evolucionando bien.

Pron贸stico:

La cirug铆a de la arteria car贸tida puede ayudar a reducir la posibilidad de tener un accidente cerebrovascular, pero usted necesitar谩 hacer cambios en el estilo de vida para ayudar a prevenir la acumulaci贸n de placa, co谩gulos de sangre y otros problemas en estas arterias con el tiempo. Usted posiblemente necesite cambiar su dieta y empezar un programa de ejercicios si su m茅dico le dice que el ejercicio es seguro en su caso.
