What Does My Ultrasound Scan Report Indicate?

My husband had an ultrasound of carotid arteries yesterday. His left side was 100 percent ecluded and the right side was 70 percent ecluded? Vascular Dr is going to check him in 6 months If it gets to 78 percent he will do surgery. Dr said he will do nothing for the left side???

Hello,
One side carotid is required for a person.
Operating on carotids are very risky too.
