Dear sir/madam My husband is 35 years old and he had a dissection in his left vertebral artery on 22/11/2012. He was done a procedure by giving injection by catheter. Now after 3 years MRI was done. The report says his whole left vertebral artery is completely blocked. Dr. says nothing can be done the right is working n supplying the required amt of flow to brain. Please let me know whether there is chance of spreading to the other artery also. and is there any procedure to remove the blockage. Please do help me in this regard i am really worried.

It seems vertebral artery is thrombosed due to dissection. He needs to be evaluated for cause of dissection and needs to be antiplatelet medication. Is he still symtomatic.
