Brief Answer:
Means there is narrowing of the lumen of the left common carotid aretry!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these findings and all the inconvenience this must have caused you. These results suggest that there is narrowing of the lumen of the common carotid artery on the left and all other arteries are fine. I will recommend that you provide the complete result report for a detailed appraisal.

Interventions on these depend on the symptoms and the degree of narrowing. I will recommend that you ask your doctor directly whether he would be following up n this or not depending on the degree of narrowing.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications. Thanks for trusting using with your health questions today!
