                        Anyone in this boat?  My dad cannot go on anitcoagulation therapy for carotid obstruction, as then he'll bleed too much during phlebotomies.  Seems he has less options.  80% carotid obstruction but asympomatic--found by accident. No symptoms, doesn't want surgical endarterectomy, but anticoagulation therapy as conservative approach may complicate phlebotomies!   Input appreciated.
