Hello! According to the description of your mother's occlusion, she probably has atherosclerotic lesions that cause narrowing of the carotid artery. This is the blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to the brain, when it is narrowed, depending on the degree of damage and clinical symptoms, and accompanying diseases, there are different treatment methods. Surgery is a method of treatment. Therefore, in order to answer correctly, "If you have a blood vessel blockage on both sides of your neck, one side is blocked, the other side is about 30-40%, is it possible to have surgery?" then doctors need to visit directly to be able to evaluate and give an effective treatment plan. In this case, you can take your mother to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for a cardiology examination. Doctors may order your mother to perform some tests, then make a final decision.
