Reviewing a proposed procedure with your chosen doctor
Carotid Artery Surgery and Stenting
second opinion in Mumbai.
Medical term: Carotid endarterectomy or carotid artery stenting
Already chosen your vascular surgeon or stroke specialist in Mumbai or Navi Mumbai to review your proposed carotid artery surgery and stenting? When you cannot attend yourself, Redwood organises your existing records and questions, takes the case to that doctor and shares their recommendations.
You choose the doctor. We take your case to them.
Understand the procedure
What is carotid artery surgery and stenting?
Carotid procedures treat selected narrowing in arteries supplying the brain. Endarterectomy removes plaque through an operation; stenting supports the artery from inside. The expected benefit depends partly on symptoms, degree of narrowing and treatment timing.
This is general procedure information. Your chosen doctor assesses what applies to you.

Questions for your chosen doctor
Choose the questions that matter to your situation. We record them in your own words and take them to the consultation.
- Is the narrowing responsible for my symptoms, and how severe is it?
- What benefit would a procedure add to medical treatment in my case?
- Why is endarterectomy or stenting preferred, and how soon is it needed?
- What are my risks of stroke, bleeding or nerve injury with the proposed approach?

Records to organise
We organise the carotid doppler, ct angiography or mr angiography alongside your treatment history and the written procedure recommendation. We note what you want the vascular surgeon or stroke specialist to clarify and keep the original reports available for the consultation.

Bring together what is available
- Carotid Doppler, CT angiography or MR angiography
- Brain imaging and stroke or TIA discharge records
- Details and dates of neurological symptoms
- Current antiplatelet, cholesterol and blood-pressure medicines
- Your written procedure recommendation, current prescriptions and allergy details
