Blockage or narrowing of the arteries in the neck can cause patients to suffer a stroke which occurs when part of the brain gets inadequate blood flow and dies. Since it is very difficult to reverse the damage once it has occurred, successful management of this condition requires early recognition of the disease, often even before symptoms occur, and prompt, safe treatment.
