[|Human|] my brother has congestive heart failure and blocked artery in his neck. he is showing signs of mini strokes and started losing his balance and muscle control in right arm, also he is suffering memory loss more each day it seems. the hospital refused to do surgery because the blockage is so severe. I fear he is nearing a major stroke and dont know what to do except take him back to the hospital were they wont do anything. any advice?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, all his symptoms are because of stroke due to blocked major neck vessels. Surgery is the best option to remove the clots, but since clots are severe surgery can be risky and life-threatening. In such cases, fibrinolytic therapy with streptokinase or kinase is very useful. These Chat Doctor.  So you can discuss with his doctors about starting fibrinolytic therapy in his case. This is the only thing you can do in his case. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your brother. Thanks.
