A member asked:
What does it mean if i have total occlusion of the carotid artery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Total Occlusion: Total Occlusion means that it is completely blocked and no blood can flow through it. That is very bad. The brain is where the blood is going! If you have disease in any artery, you probably have disease in other arteries. Inflammation is one of the main causes.
