Hi;
Your remaining carotid arteries and vertebrobasillar system needs to be evaluated. Maybe blood supply becomes inadequate due to other kind of pathologies or just physiologicly increased demand. Stenting or antiagregant medications may be beneficial, but this must be thoroughly evaluated and managed by an experienced neurologist.
May you recover soon
