"The database exists and our service does it for both pathologies, both for carotid stenoses and for abdominal aortic aneurysms. In the last 6 years, we have greatly increased the number of treatments for these two pathologies due to the increase in the level professional of the whole team, but at the same time enabling the equipment of specific devices, because without them it is impossible to have positive results. For this operation we had a collaboration with the carotid echo check-up", said one of the doctors who participated in the room, Sokol Xhepa. 

The carotid arteries are the two main arteries that supply the brain with blood. They are located on both sides of the neck. Carotid artery stenosis is the narrowing of this artery by arteriosclerotic plaques.
