Hi,
stroke patients are investigated by 2D Doppler neck to know carotid vessel status .
If carotid vessels are 100% occluded then no treatment is required on that side .
If carotid vessels are more than 70% occluded then stenting or surgery is required.
If less than 60 % occluded then lipidlowering drugs are started.
Thanks.
