A member asked:
My dad has had a stroke. he has 100%blockage in one artery and 90% percent blockage in the other. are there any non-surgical treatmet that can be done?

Patients : With high grade blockage of one carotid artery, with occlusion of the other carotid artery, can be safely treated with a carotid artery stent with distal protection. Look at sirweb.Org doctor finder for an interventional radiologist in your area. Vascular surgeons and cardiologists can do this procedure also. It is important to get someone with experience, so risk of stroke decreased.
