Carotid artery stenosis is a condition that happens when your carotid artery, the large artery on either side of your neck, becomes blocked. The blockage is made up of a substance called plaque (fatty cholesterol deposits). When plaque blocks the normal flow of blood through your carotid artery, you're at a higher risk of stroke. 2, record 1, English, - carotid%20artery%20stenosis

La sténose de l'artère carotide, également appelée sténose carotidienne ou maladie de l'artère carotide, fait référence au rétrécissement des principaux vaisseaux sanguins du cou. [...] Tout comme pour les artères coronaires du cœur, la plaque peut s'accumuler dans les artères carotides et provoquer un rétrécissement [...] Au fil du temps, ce rétrécissement peut entraîner des problèmes d'apport sanguin au cerveau, ce qui peut entraîner un accident vasculaire cérébral. 2, record 1, French, - st%C3%A9nose%20carotidienne
