Periph. art. dis.: Yes & No. Atherosclerosis is slowed by using meds. such as antiplatelets(aspirin etc etc), potent statins(atorva.,rosuva,.etc);ACEI's(lisinopril etc) or ARB's;some betablockers,and other meds such as cilastozol etc.A complete or high grade occlusion however will need either antegrade or retrograde mechanical revascularization as well as meds..If in area seek my practice out as we can help
