Carotid endarterectomy is the surgical procedure aimed at releasing occluded or partially restricted carotid arteries. This dangerous pathological condition - also known as obstructive disease of the carotid arteries or stenosis of the carotid arteries - is established due to atherosclerosis and can be the cause of strokes or TIA ( transient ischemic attack )

In common parlance, when we talk about heart attacks we refer to the known pathology that affects the heart. However, few know that cardiac disease is just one of many possible types of heart attack. The generic term infarct indicates the death, partial or total, of an organ, as a result of an insufficient blood supply
Carotid angioplasty with stenting is a non-surgical medical procedure, whereby vascular surgeons restore normal blood flow within the carotid arteries affected by atherosclerosis . Carotid arteries - or more simply carotids - are two large blood vessels passing at the sides of the neck, one on the right or one on the left; together with the vertebral arteries, they carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the brain and to all the anatomical structures of the head
Carotid angioplasty with stenting is a non-surgical medical procedure, by which vascular surgeons "release" the occluded or severely restricted carotid arteries. This dangerous pathological condition - which in medical language is defined as obstructive disease of the carotid arteries - is a possible consequence of atherosclerosis and may be the basis of episodes of ischemic stroke or TIA ( transient ischemic attack )

Muscular dystrophies are genetic diseases, very often also hereditary, that cause a gradual weakening of the body muscles and a progressive disability. At their origin there are one or more mutations of genes having a fundamental role in the correct development and proper functioning of the muscular apparatus
