cautionary clogged artery

Good day. I have a friend who got hit by a car but only came out with bruises but days later started bleeding from his nose. When he went to the hospital he was diagnosed with cautionary clogged artery and was told he only at least 15 years to live. He was also told that the odds of the surgery was 80 to 20 against him. Please could cautionary clogged artery cause nose bleeding and are the chances of the surgery really that low

And what is a cautionary clogged artery? To me it sounds like it closed itself of to avoid oncoming traffic.

WHAT? I've never heard of such a thing? A nose bleed wouldn't have anything to do with clots. What surgery? to remove a clot? what about clot busting medication? Plus how can they say that 15 years is tops?
