Carotid Arteries

01/20/2011

Question:

I had an ultra sound performed on my carotid arteries last week and the report came back 30% blockage in the left and 55% on the right. How serious is this?

Answer:

This probably does not require any intervention, but you should be evaluated by a vascular surgeon.
