Where can you get this percentage?

All I was told was "mild" and "moderate" - no percentages.

Taking measurements from my venogram images, I can determine my vein narrowed down to 5.5 mm from 9 mm so is this about a 50% blockage based on diameter or 70% based on cross section area?

Just wondering what the official ruling on this is...

A/C

Though it's about arteries, this may shed some light. See, in particular, page 4 of the article:
