Our Heart-Score '96 reports continue-- educating about strokes-- or brain
attacks.
The two biggest arteries that carry blood to the brain are the carotid
arteries....there's one on either side of the neck.
About 25-percent of all strokes are caused when the carotid is blocked by
plaque.
Now, the idea behind one procedure is to clean out the debris, before a
stroke occurs.

Recent studies have confirmed the procedure does prevent strokes in both

Balloon-tipped catheters are threaded into arteries in the head and neck,
opening up the blockage.
