A member asked:
Do the treatment options change depending on how clogged my arteries are?

Possibly: If the artery is completely blocked, or if there are long segments of blockage or multiple areas of complete blockage in a row, it may be more difficult to treat the blockage with angioplasty. Open surgery becomes a better option in these situations.

Sure: Please don't smoke. Control BP and diabetes. Exercise. Eat right. This works for all pad. Aspirin may be added by your doctor. Also a statin. Stents and or surgery not always needed.
