Stress test evaluation?

A stress test shows up greater than 70% right internal carotid artery stenosis. How bad is that?

Maybe you meant a carotid Doppler showed a narrow of >70%. A ct scan of your carotids to confirm. If it’s confirmed, then a stent can be placed much like a coronary artery. Safer than surgery and lasts just as long.
