Endothelial problems and poor leg circulation

I have a connective tissue disease which affects blood vessels. I have had a stent put in my femoral artery near my quad area. Within 8 months it has restenosis to 80% blockage. Dr. Says I shouldn’t wait to repair it. He will do an arterectomey to fix it. Has anyone had this type of repair, and if so what results did you get.

Thank you

Barb

Hi Barb

I don’t have an experience of stenting yet so I can’t help. As no-one on HU has come back to you- could you ask your Dr to put you in touch with one of her/his patients who has had the same type of repair?

Do you have much of a choice but to have the surgery ?:(

Please come back and let us know how you get on. There are often users lurking who are interested in all sorts of conditions and your information would be really helpful.

Take care
