Dear Sir/ Madam,

Thank you for posting your query at healthcaremagic.com

I am sorry to say this but percentage blockage you have mention, as per that the prognosis is very bad.

I advice you to get MRI and doppler scanning of the carotids, which will help in further assessing and treating.

It is also advisable that seek help from nearest emergency care center at super specialty hospital.

Please revert back to me if you have any further query. I will glad to answer that.

Wishing your mother a speedy recovery!!
with best wishes
