My husband has just been told following an ultra sound that he had a twisted carotid artery he was diagnosed with cancer in the carotid gland 2 years ago and had operation to have cancerous areas removed and has been given all clear at present could this be related and what treatment will be ahead of him
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.  He has history of cancer in carotid body.  It was operated, and some fibrous scar tissue may lead to twisted carotid artery.  If at present no any other problems or symptoms then it's ok.  No, any treatment is required for that. Just be relaxed. If you have any symptoms then tell me about that. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
