I am a viet-nam veteran and understand that if this has anything to do with ischemic it could be related to agent orange. this was done again on 12032013 by duplex scan of extracranial arteries. I also had a ct scan of the abdomen and pelvis after prostate cancer surgery it shows significant atherosclerotic vascular disease. what info.could you give me on ischemic? if I had a fax icould send you this report. thanks Eddie Hollis YYYYYY  <response>: Hello There After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that carotid plaguing 60-70 can cause brain stroke hence highly recommended for you to get an angiogram of neck vessels and if your vascular surgeon or a cardiologist advises then get done angioplasty done to avoid complications. Hopefully this information will guide you properly. Kind Regards Chat Doctor.
