Stenosis formation in arteries and its consequences

Stenosis is a type of uncommon constriction development caused by the build-up of atherosclerotic plaques, lipids, fats, cholesterol or other unsaturated substances. It arises in one or more sites in the cardiovascular system at the inner arterial wall and gives rise to crucial circulatory disorders. Its growth may lead to various types of disorders and conditions, for instance, infarction, stroke, cancer and sepsis.
