Control risk factors: If the blockage is not severe, and there are no symptoms, management includes risk factor control. Cholesterol should be lowered- which can be done with diet. However, statin medications, which lower cholesterol, have been shown to decrease stroke risk and stabilize plaque. Aspirin, and other antiplatelet medications can also decrease the risk of stroke.
