Thank you. I had a stroke about 4 years ago and had the blockage removed. When I went back for a review, I was told it was blocked 100%. I was very surprised because I felt and still do feel great. I am a 67 year old female and was told because the right side is open I am ok. I was on plavix for a year or so and wonder how rare this is. My surgeon said in years of operating, I'm the only one it's happened to. I had had no rehab at all either.
