Your vascular surgeon (or interventional proceduralist) is the one responsible to explain the situation to you.

Carotid stenting is quite risky, and Research has narrowed the indications for this based on risk assessments. If they stopped, it was because they probably concluded that the risks of doing it exceeded the expected benefits. Maybe you should have open surgery instead. Maybe something else was out of whack (coronary risk, etc). You need to talk with the doctor who started the procedure.

Since the procedure, I have not seen the Doctor that tried this procedure, I have seen 4 other Cardiologist, who came to see me, but the original Doctor is a no show.I have the biggest deep purple bruise from my waist line to my scrotum, and it really looks bad.They told me to come home and take it easy for a few days.
