What Causes A Blockage In The Brain?
I ve had a vagal nerve stimulator for depression since 2008 and in June I found out the battery was dead. In July I had the battery replacement surgery. Even tho they put the new battery in they found out there was blockage in the wires and the stimulation is not going up to my brain. I m having another surgery in a couple weeks to find the blockage and correct it. What I want to know is this the fault of the medical device or the medical device company? If not what can cause this blockage. Thank you. Kelli Dickerson-Jones YYYY@YYYY

Hi Kelli
Thanks for using Ask A Doctor service.
As per my clinical knowledge is concerned, it is the conducting pathway of brain is at fault which is not taking up the stimulation most likely.
Take care.
