General Surgeon,  's  Response
The information you have been given is incorrect. I would like to know the level of your Carotid disease and then only a decision can be taken whether to operate, stent or manage medically can be taken. Most important are your symptoms or problems due to the Carotid disease. Do you have any history of any weakness in any of the limbs, abnormal speech or sudden onset blindness. Also, what is the report of your color Doppler or CT or MRI. Let me know those and depending on the percentage of your Internal Carotid artery block can I suggest the appropriate treatment. Pleas also let me know your age and whether you suffer from any other diseases? Take care and look forward to hearing from you. Dr Rishi from Delhi, India.

Hi, do let me know how blocked is your carotid artery and have you had any strokes in the past? what is your age? If the stenosis is more than 70% then you definitely require Surgery. Do share the reports with me and i can guide you further. I am a Surgeon specializing in Vascular Surgery and would be happy to guide you through. You can reply with the answers and reports by asking a query directly to me through the website. Take care,
Dr Rishi, New Delhi, India.
