Subject: Question "BIA"? "VIA" ??? CNS complaints in patient.
The patient has CNS complaints (ataxia, weakness) and moderate stenosis in carotid arteries.
Doctor dictates under plan: Female with question of "BIA", question vascular etiology for her complaints.
Under VIA or BIA I cannot find anything that might fit. Any ideas? Thanks!
