Sorry I missed this.

Im not an expert but did have a stent put into carotdid. It is a high risk surgery. BUT when I stroked, that pushed the emergency button and I was rushed from 4th floor to CT, and all staff called in for emergency surgery. I have often wondered what plans the two doctors, anesthesiologist and support staff had planned for that Friday night.....

Ask every wuestion you csn think of. What is the proceedure exactly. Is there alternative. How will this open the passageway.....

The doctors are remarkable in this reguard. The are highly specialized in this work....

Post surgery is very tiring.

good luck !! you will do fine.
