AB  - Dr.  John  Doe  is  a  67-year-old  vascular  surgeon  and  is  self-referred  for  evaluation  of  a  carotid  bruit  found  on  a  routine  insurance  physical  examination.  He  has  no  focal  neurologic  symptoms  and  reports  no  history  consistent  with  a  stroke  or  transient  ischemic  attack  (TIA).  He  has  a  history  of  hypertension,  dyslipidemia,  and  non–insulin-dependent  diabetes  all  well-controlled  on  medical  therapy.  Physical  exam  confirms  a  right-sided  bruit  in  the  neck,  and  the  rest  of  the  physical  exam  is  unremarkable.  His  medications  include  a  daily  baby  aspirin  (81  mg),  atorvastatin  (20  mg),  lisinopril  (10  mg),  hydrochlorothiazide  (12.5  mg),  and  metformin  (500  mg).  Duplex  ultrasound  reveals  an  80%  to  89%  stenosis  of  his  right  internal  carotid  artery  and  20%  to  49%  stenosis  of  his  left  internal  carotid  artery.  What  are  the  consequences  of  Dr.  Doe’s  carotid  artery  disease?  How  should  his  case  be  approached?
