A member asked:
How successful is angioplasty for a completely occluded superficial femoral artery throughout the proximal and mid thigh? what are the alternatives?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Angioplasty: This sounds like a lesion that is too big to be angioplasted. Most likely need surgery but discuss with your Dr. to see what success they are having in your area. Stop smoking and get cholesterol down by diet and meds.
