Nuero is recommending an arterial biopsy what are the risks?
7 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Arterial Biopsy: Arterial biopsies are usually done to find out what is wrong with the patient. They usually do not carry much risk if done by someone with experience. Your neurologist recommends this, what about your family physician, what does your doc think.
