A member asked:
Will an artery that is 100% blocked be bypassed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Whether an artery needs to be bypassed or opened because it's 100% blocked depends on 1) your symptoms and 2) which artery, in particular, we are discussing. Discuss further with a board-certified vascular surgeon.
