Hi, some vascular surgeons like to propose operation of arteries with progressed atherosclerosis, in order to prevent further circulatory complications. The total plaque area, the rate of LDL to HDL and other factors all indicate about patients health condition and deciding a therapy has always been up to doctor. Doctors act individually and based on their personal experience with patients and healing methods choose from available options. Often, they don’t agree between themselves which method should be applied for which patient, since they are with different experiences. I know you would like to hear one absolute truth, but in medicine things are not that black and white. Although, there are many procedures in determining certain disease choosing a therapy remains responsibility of every individual doctor.
