Peripheral Artery Disease, stents and smoking!

0 Replies

Hi. I have had 2 wire stents inserted in iliac arteries following peripheral disease as my legs cramped badly walking.I have been smoker and this caused it. I am trying SO SO hard to quit smoking following procedure 5 weeks ago, with help of NHS stop smoking, and I can't stop. I am down to 4 a day but terrified I'm going to lose leg as consultant said if continuing to smoke and I can't do it!! Any tips please please.
