Removal of Blockage of Neck Vessels at Southeastern PA Main Line Paoli
Detection of blockage in the neck vessels is done by injecting special dye into the patient and using it to watch blood flow in the head and neck. Angiograms are also used in the detection process. When the vessels in the neck are blocked, they can cause a stroke in the patient, that's why early detection is key. Symptoms of this blockage include numbness or weakness, difficulty seeing, confusion, and severe headaches. The clot that forms the blockage to the head may not develop there, it could develop somewhere else and travel to the site.
