A member asked:
If i had surgery for carotid endarterectomy could they be done together (as both 50% occluded)by an experienced surgeon with high volumes procedures?

First do you need it: First for 76 yr old with no symptoms like TIA 50% occlusion may not be an indication . If indicated the procedure is done one side at a time. Best advise you will get is from your ' experienced surgeon with high volumes ' Speak to the surgeon .
