Supposing your arteries are blocked. what are the options?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Arterial obstruction: This is a complicated problem and if you have it you need to discuss with your doctor. For everyone diet, exercise, not smoking and a combination of medications are used, for some people surgery or intravascular dilation/stenting procedures are also used, and in the worst cases other steps.
