Advanced Stroke Prevention Care by Dr. Laxmikant Bhople & Dr. Sandeep Gore
Carotid Artery Disease
Carotid artery disease develops when fatty deposits or plaques narrow the carotid arteries that supply blood to the brain. As a result, blood flow to the brain becomes restricted, significantly increasing the risk of stroke.
In many patients, carotid artery disease progresses silently without early symptoms. Therefore, timely diagnosis and preventive treatment are essential to avoid sudden and life-threatening stroke events.
Keeping this risk in focus, Dr. Laxmikant Bhople and Dr. Sandeep Gore offers advanced carotid artery disease evaluation and treatment in Nanded, with the goal of stroke prevention and long-term neurological safety.
Causes & Risk Factors
Carotid artery disease usually develops gradually. However, certain conditions accelerate plaque formation. Common risk factors include:
- High blood pressure
- Diabetes mellitus
- High cholesterol levels
- Smoking and tobacco use
- Obesity and sedentary lifestyle
- Previous stroke or TIA
- Advancing age
Because these factors often coexist, early screening becomes especially important in high-risk individuals.
Symptoms That Require Immediate Attention
Although carotid artery disease may remain asymptomatic, warning signs may appear suddenly. For this reason, prompt evaluation is critical. Symptoms may include:
- Sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the body
- Difficulty speaking or understanding speech
- Temporary loss of vision in one eye
- Dizziness or loss of balance
- Transient ischemic attack (TIA / mini-stroke)
If such symptoms occur, urgent neurosurgical or neurovascular consultation is strongly advised. By acting early, the risk of a major stroke can be significantly reduced.
Advanced Carotid Artery Disease Treatment Options
Modern management of carotid artery disease focuses on preventing stroke and restoring healthy blood flow. Accordingly, Dr. Laxmikant Bhopleand Dr. Sandeep Gore Gore offers individualized treatment based on disease severity.
Medical Management & Risk Control
In early or moderate cases, medical therapy may be sufficient. Therefore, blood pressure control, cholesterol management, and antiplatelet medications are carefully optimized.
Surgical & Neurovascular Intervention
When artery narrowing becomes severe, surgical treatment may be required. In such cases, intervention helps restore blood flow and reduce stroke risk.
Stroke Prevention Strategy
Every patient is evaluated holistically. As a result, treatment is planned not only to address the artery narrowing but also to prevent future neurological events.
Expertise of Dr. Laxmikant Bhople & Dr. Sandeep Gore
With over 9 years of experience in neurosurgery and neurovascular care, Dr. Laxmikant Bhople and Dr. Sandeep Gore, with over 14 years of experience in spine surgery, has managed numerous stroke-related and carotid artery disease cases. In addition to surgical expertise, he emphasizes early detection and preventive intervention.
Moreover, his structured and ethical approach ensures patient safety, informed decision-making, and long-term neurological protection.
Benefits of Timely Carotid Artery Treatment
- Significant reduction in stroke risk
- Improved cerebral blood flow
- Prevention of sudden neurological disability
- Long-term vascular health protection
- Personalized follow-up and monitoring
Because stroke prevention is always better than stroke treatment, early care offers the best outcomes.
Recovery & Follow-Up Care
Recovery depends on the severity of the disease and treatment approach. Initially, patients are monitored closely for neurological stability. Subsequently, lifestyle modification guidance and medical follow-up are emphasized.
At the same time, regular imaging and clinical reviews help ensure sustained artery health and stroke prevention.
