Carotid artery stenosis is the narrowing of the carotid arteries in the neck, typically due to atherosclerosis, which can restrict blood flow to the brain and increase stroke risk.
Prevalence increases with age, affecting 5-10% of individuals over 65, with higher rates in those with cardiovascular risk factors (Source: Stroke, 2017).
