What to do with severe middle cerebral artery stenosis

If the stenosis is severe, it can be treated with medication or surgery.

1. Medication

Medication is mainly used to reduce symptoms and prevent disease progression by lowering blood pressure, improving blood flow and preventing thrombosis. Commonly used drugs include antiplatelet drugs, lipid-lowering drugs, antihypertensive drugs, etc., which should be used according to the doctor's instructions.

2.

Surgery may be required for patients who fail to respond to medication or whose condition is serious. Surgical methods include angioplasty and stent implantation, arterial endarterectomy, intracranial artery bypass grafting, etc., which can help control the disease.
