Blockage of carotid artery with no intervention till 80% blocked?

Thanks for your post and your concern. I am seeing several docs for this. Unfortunately, they are all saying nothing can be done for 100% blocked artery. I'm finding that hard to believe in this day and age which is why I am searching out answers on Mayo Clinic's message board. If there are answers, I feel like Mayo Clinic may be my best hope.

@tskeane hello I have mentioned in an earlier post that I have had my left Carotid operated upon as an endarterectomy. It wax approx 80% full such that it was seen as urgent to have the procedure
Your family doctor should be investigating the vascular surgeons in your area. There must be one who would recognise the necessity for the operation. Do not give up!
