He had immediately noted an inability to grasp objects and numbness in his right hand. These symptoms lasted for 2 minutes and then spontaneously resolved. After this episode his right hand felt completely normal. He denied other symptoms such as amaurosis, paralysis, paresthesias, speech disturbance, or gait disturbance. His past medical history was significant for hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and cramping in his calves when he walked long distances. He had a 40 pack-year history of smoking and denied use of alcohol. A carotid duplex ultrasound examination showed a left 70% to 99% internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis.
