A member asked:
What is small vessel ischemia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ischemia: Ischemia means inadequate blood flow. This can happen because the large size blood vessels are narrowed. It can also happen with normal large vessels and abnormal small blood vessels causing the inadequate flow. This is 'small vessel ischemia'. We don't have surgery or stents for 'small vessels' at this time.
