Outcomes Similar for Patients with Clogged Neck Arteries Undergoing Surgery or Receiving a Stent

In a report from the American Heart Association, outcomes are similar for patients with clogged neck arteries undergoing surgery or receiving a stent. If a heart problem leads to disability, during the time you are unable to work you may qualify for long-term disability benefits.

New research finds that whether a patient with clogged neck arteries undergoes a metal stent procedure or surgery to open the arteries, after 2 years, about 94% of the arteries were still clear. These procedures were also found to reduce the risk of stroke, which is a potential complication of clogged arteries.

These findings provide 2 options for doctors and patients when it comes to a clogged neck artery. Since the success rate is similar, the decision on which to use doesn’t have to be such a difficult one.

Although you may have long-term disability benefits, your claim could still end up being denied. When you are unable to work and bring in earnings, you may be wondering what options are available.
