A member asked:
Help please! is bypass surgery a viable option when arteries in both legs are clogged from groin to knee?

Probably: Presuming cardiac, thoracic general stability, then femoropopliteal or tibial bypasses with veins can be wonderful. Must stop smoking, lose weight, mobilize!

Yrs: Vascular bypass surgery is common and can treat diseases on the legs. You should see a vascular surgeon.
