The person we have here suffers from acute headaches, and
prone to strokes and migraines. This is caused by a blocked
artery in the top level of the brain.
To solve this, doctors are going to take a less important brain
artery in the side of the head, and reroute it to the blocked vein to
supply a new source of blood flow.
To do this, they will saw off a chunk of the skull, drill
a hole, and feed the new artery into the appropriate section where they
can then fuse the good artery to the dependent artery.
