re: OT Med Folks--My Docs are Stumped

I am dealing with a similar situation, but from an aortic dissection. My carotids were blocked really bad on both sides after it happened from the false lumen clotting off, I went from about 70 percent to almost 100 percent blocked in about 2 months. I recommend a second opinion because one of the best vascular specialist in Houston would not touch my carotids because I was high risk. I went to my surgeon at the Lake who saved my life the first time and they were able to put a stent on my left side. I am about same age as you.
