International Circulation:   What is your advice for the treatment of patients with stenosis who are asymptomatic?
国际循环：您对无症状的颈动脉狭窄患者的治疗建议是什么？
Prof. Gary M. Ansel:  It really depends on several different factors， it depends on the severity of the blockage.  We will very often treat patients who don’t have symptoms that have approximately 80% blockage， sometimes less for a young male.  If a patient has a rapidly advancing blockage we also feel that those are bad actors and will be aggressively treating those as well.
Prof. Gary M. Ansel:  这取决于几个不同的因素，取决于阻塞的严重程度。我们往往会治疗那些虽然没有临床症状但堵塞大约80％的患者，对于年轻男性的堵塞程度即使还要轻些我们也要治疗。如果患者的堵塞情况发展迅速，那是不好的因素，我们会积极处理。
