@catfluff Bold of you to assume I have a full name. Also isn’t a social security number an American thing? I mean I’ve got an identity number
@cakelover you can have it but it’s not really gonna benefit you in anyway. I work full time but I also study full time and fund myself XD
It's rather simple actually.
First they'll probably give you a a local (hella numbing) on your neck. They might fully knock you out but it's rare because seeing you awake is usually important for a procedure that can affect the brain directly. After a it's in effect they'll prep your neck and make a small cut. Then the blood tube will be clamped shut and they'll remove the fatty build up. Then they'll work their way back closing up and boom job done.
WHY would I? Well- Assumption is bad. But let’s pretend that we have confirmed it is an ischemic Stroke to make this simpler. Why would I perform an Endarterectomy? Don’t know I would. 55% is just out of mild blockage- but it’s above 50% and he’s stroked out- so his risks are way up. But I need more information on the patient. Does he have Diabetes or Pre diabetes? How’s his average blood pressure and current blood pressure? Has he had surgery in that artery before? Is this his first stroke? How is his overall health? Classic teaching said to wait after a stroke- but newer findings say to go within 48 hours to a week as long as the patient is recovered and stabilized.
So I would NOT if he wasn’t recovered- if he wasn’t stable, and if his overall health or other conditions didn’t indicate a good outcome and long term prognosis.
Why would I? I Would assuming that all other factors indicate that is the best course of action and the stroke was caused by a clot from his 55% blocked artery- because despite his age and the fact the blockage alone doesn’t seem so severe- it seems in his case it is- and if I don’t his odds of another stroke in the near future are pretty high.
Or not. I’m not a Vascular surgeon or a cardiologist. If I was backed into a corner and no one else could do it and I HAD to... well.. bet your butt I’m getting as many folks as possible to consult and doing some reading on the subject because everything I said above- an actual specialist might shake their head or their years of experience may say something else.
