Dear Doctor, I asked a question recently about my 74 y.o father and Carotid Endarterectomy. I now have the proper info.
A recent Duplex shows:
Left I.C.A completely occluded, right I.C.A 50% narrowed.
Left Vertabral reversed, right Vertabral patent.
His Neurologist ordered an MRI/MRA but I don't have thos results.
1) would endarterectomy by advised. 20 how does an artery
