A member asked:
What's it like to have a stent in either carotid or vertebral artery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Placed in both: I have experience in deploying stents in both carotid and vertebral arteries. Mostly these are treated with surgery but stenting is a viable option in select group of patients who are not candidates for surgery.
