I am 53 and have had t2 for 21 years. I just found out my left carotid artery is 90% blocked and I need surgery. No stent they are just going to open and clean out. I am worried I know either way there is a chance of stroke. Has anyone had this surgery?
If you need it you get it done . I Have refused three times for Neurosurgeon and two time to hand surgeon . I am OK . But I had to get surgery for my fractured leg and second time to remove metal . But I had also minor Skin Surgery . Both got complicated .
I haven’t, but it does sound scary. Have you thought about a second opinion? They do these surgeries all the time. It’s important to have a surgeon you believe in. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
My thoughts and prayers are with you Monica.
No but know several people who have had with no complications. praying the best for you You will feel much better
