Patient: Patient, 79 years old, suddenly fainted unconsciously on the ground after getting up and sitting up in the morning on December 21, 2009, and was awake after a few seconds. In March 2009, I had vertigo when I was having a haircut and lowered my head, but I was discharged from the hospital after receiving an infusion to unblock the blood vessels. I was discharged from the hospital after being given fluids to unblock the blood vessels. How can I treat it at the current medical level? Is it possible to surgically clear the occluded vertebral artery? Can a stent be placed? Thank you! The result of the angiography is that the cervical segment of the right vertebral artery is completely occluded and does not show multiple high-density calcified platelets in the canal wall, while the carotid artery is normal. The left vertebral artery also has calcification points but the blood flow is basically normal, and the carotid artery is normal. Blood triglycerides, blood glucose and cholesterol indicators were all within normal standards.

It can be unblocked by endovascular method, that is, by puncture at the root of the thigh, and then by guide wire, catheter, balloon, stent, etc., somewhat like heart stent. Bring your films to my clinic and consider inpatient stenting. Click here for my clinic hours
Patient: Thank you, Dr. Lu, for your explanation, I understand how to treat it. I am worried that this treatment is too risky, so I will treat the patient conservatively for the time being and will go back to your clinic when it is convenient. Thank you very much, Dr. Lu!
