Hi, First, I will go by the patient's history. angioplastic in February 2023 and planted a stent. After a week, he had a nosebleed issue and later found multiple injuries, which were cauterised. Up until last week, in March, he was fine. But since the last week of March, he had memory loss and a speech problem. He was admitted to the hospital, and a stroke was found on the left side of the brain, but I can't see much improvement as now he is not able to speak, although he was under intensive care and the doctor has increased the blood thinner dosage and tests are going on. It's been 4 days; yesterday he was shifted to a normal room from the ICU. The doctor said he had blockage in the neck artery too, but they haven't decided to take any action yet, if a stent is required or not. The doctor has told me he will be kept on observation and moved to a normal room. But today again he got the minor stroke, and since then he is unable to speak, and one side of his face is weak.need opinion.

Without examining or evaluation a patient, we cannot give any opinion on acute events, with only this history. There must be a reason the doctor had told for observation. He must be reevaluated by a neurologist or an interventional radiologist to decide on carotid stenting, depending on the current clinical scenario.
