Suggest Treatment For 100% Heart Blockage
Hi I have just found out that my dad has had a mini stroke and has been having them for some time now. Yesterday we had to rush him to the emergency room for treatment of yet another stroke. My dad has been told he had basilar arterial stenosis. We have been informed that he is 100% blocked on one side and 95% on the other, is there anything that can be done to repair this? Everyone I have talked too in the medical field has told me it is an inop surgery. What can I do to help my dad??? Please don t sugar coat a answer to me I need hard facts and in hopes you can help me understand what is happening to my dad!! Please Help.. Cooper
