Prevention, diagnosis and treatment of CAVD – Stroke prevention
The four carotid arteries supply the brain with blood. Ultrasound can be used to examine their blood flow in a painless manner. This serves for the early detection of blood lipid deposits (intima-media thickness), calcifications or narrowing of the blood vessels, which can lead to circulatory disorders and, in the worst case, a stroke.
Treatments & Therapies
When is an ultrasound of the carotid arteries useful?
Treatment procedure
Stroke prevention
A typical assessment and treatment for cerebral arterial occlusive disease (CAOD) includes, in addition to the ultrasound of the carotid arteries, an angiography of the neck and head arteries using magnetic resonance angiography or contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the skull, and a clinical-neurological examination.
For the endovascular treatment of cerebral arterial occlusive disease (CAOD), an interventional procedure is used in which an underlying narrowing in the blood vessel is dilated (angioplasty) and supported from the inside (stent implantation).

FAQs
Cerebral arterial occlusive disease refers to a narrowing or blockage of blood vessels that supply the brain. This can restrict blood flow to the brain, which increases the risk of a stroke.
Common causes are:
Arteriosclerosis (vascular calcification)
High blood pressure
high cholesterol levels
Smoking
Diabetes mellitus
Physical inactivity
Possible warning signs are:
sudden speech disturbances
dizziness or balance disorders
visual disturbances
paralysis or numbness
severe headaches
In the event of acute symptoms, medical help should be sought immediately.
A stroke can have serious consequences. With early diagnosis and treatment, risk factors can be identified and strokes potentially prevented will be.
The examination can include:
detailed medical history
blood pressure control
Ultrasound of the neck vessels (carotid duplex)
Blood tests
internal and vascular medical assessment
Initially, a detailed discussion about symptoms and risk factors takes place. Subsequently, individually tailored examinations are performed. Diagnostic evaluation is generally painless and non-invasive.
Important measures are:
Control of blood pressure and cholesterol
Smoking cessation
Regular exercise
Healthy diet
Treatment of existing diseases such as diabetes
Yes. Depending on the findings, the following can be used:
drug therapies
control of risk factors
regular follow-up checks
in certain cases, further interventions
An examination is particularly useful for:
a family history
High blood pressure
Smoking
Elevated cholesterol levels
Diabetes
Increasing age
The costs depend on the scope of the diagnostics and the examinations. The initial consultation (depending on the required examination) costs from € 290 to € 350.
The Exact prices will be provided in a personal consultation..
Since these are medical examinations, a (partial) coverage of costs by the health insurance is often possible.
At JUVENIS you benefit from modern vascular diagnostics, individual care and experienced specialists. Through early detection of vascular changes and targeted prevention, your risk of strokes and vascular diseases is sustainably reduced.
