Arteriosclerosis: We use diet, exercise, not smoking, statin drugs and sometimes other medications and procedures. When atherosclerosis is bad enough to threaten life or limb, we sometimes need to do surgery to try and preserve flow to the threatened system. Surgery isn't a cure but can be life or limb saving when the situation demands. Discuss with your doctor.
