Just had the vascular guy order an MRA/MRV waiting for a date. The ultrasound I did today really showed little of value, as was previously told to me beforehand.

I wonder if the MRA/MRV will show any stenosis or compression and to what level? I would assume if they tell me "Yes there is compression..." that doesn't automatically I should rush into a surgery that yields 50/50 results. Hmm. Confused now.
Oh, forgot to add, they'll tell you the length of your compression as well as the degree (percentage) so don't worry about it being a vague report. If they don't, ask. But that's normal protocol.
