A member asked:
When a report says without significant stenosis, does that mean there's some but not enough to matter or there is none at all? atherosclerosis on ica
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not enough to matter: There is almost always some atherosclerotic plaque, even in 20 year olds. Not significant usually means less than 50 % blockage, but it could be much lower.
