Suggest Treatment For Blocked Carotid Artery
My mother had both carotid artery surgery 2 years ago..... she had a stroke then...and now she had another stroke and now one is 100% blocked and they cannot perform surgery. She is on meds. and she is at a high risk for another stroke. basically we are praying. why is it that one is so blocked already and the other is fine? seems unusual.

Hello,
Consult a vascular surgeon and get evaluated.
If the vessel is too much compromised we can go for minimal invasive procedure. Carotid artery is so much important because it is the vessel that supplies your brain.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
