Yes. They did the occlusion test on me, and everything is ok with living with one carotid. I believe the left one will permanently be stented, probably more likely removed to a cerain point. The other reason is I can't see them attaching it again, after radiation, being radiation continues to work for some time after, and some cancer may be present on the artery. There are several types carotid resections, some temportary, some with flaps, new tubing. I guess I'll find out soon enough.
