Have Occlusion In Carotid. Had Stroke. All Test Done. Isn T There Any Cure For This?

In nov 2012 they did an MRA of my neck brain and heart found, my right carotid has a frank occlusion and are telling me there is nothing anyone can do. I can lib=ve like this????
They say no one has attempted to repair a collapsed artery only blocked. They also say it had nothing to do with my stroke. I’m very confused. Robert Baba

Prevention is better than cure.
Try to control your risk factors like lipids,diabetes,hypertensionetc if any.

I need your detailed history to comment upon.
your age,Family History,Personal History,etc. copy of your reports.........

Presently you are advised to go for aggressive medical management
