| Carotid artery occlusive disease [Go Back to Keywords List Page]  | Carotid artery occlusive disease
The carotid arteries are the two blood vessels on each side
of your neck that carry blood from the heart to the brain.
These arteries can become partially or completely blocked.
The blockage decreases the blood flow to your brain. People
with this condition who do not get treatment are at risk for
a major stroke.
