A member asked:
Which is the fatality rate of carotid artery bypass surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low: Depends on where you are and who you talk to, but most recent registries and studies have the mortality from surgery at about 1-2 percent. The waters get muddy when death, stroke, and heart attack are lumped together. All things considered, carotid surgery gives the best long term results.
