A member asked:
A friend of mine has 100% blocked arteries in her neck, is she going to be okay?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably so: The answer of can a person be ok with a blocked neck artery depends upon two things: which artery it is which is blocked and what is the status of the remaining 3 vessels? A blocked vertebral artery can likely be better tolerated than a blocked carotid artery. If a carotid artery is blocked and the remaining carotid artery exhibits significant blockage then there is greater danger.
