- This award-winning documentary series from Arizona PBS takes viewers into an operating room to witness less invasive procedures for peripheral artery disease (PAD) - alternatives that can literally save patients’ legs.
We encourage patients across the United States to research and understand the risk factors of this disease. This documentary allows viewers to witness live endovascular treatment options of leg artery stenosis, which are less invasive than previous options for this condition.
Non invasive vascular testing in the Primary Care community is the first big step to early detection of PAD. This video is amazing to gain awareness to this disease that is poly vascular.
Good video !!!!! The doctor is so right about patients being sent here or there and not being treated for the main problem . To go from a .4 to a .2 dealing with one doctor and his staff means.........find a new doctor if you have time !! Recovery time is about.......all up to you , in no time not a month or more .
Update : Had to have a Balloon / Stent inserted in the right iliac Artery as blood flow was found to be 90% blocked !!. it is now 2 days after operation and feel so much better. Now leg is warm and no more pain when walking, taking it slow at the moment will see doctor in a month for follow up. Left leg is now not as good as I would like It is also blocked but not as bad as what the right was. All good at present lucky we live in an era where new options are available to me.

May I ask who your surgeon was? Looking for a good Dr.

EXCELLENT! Keep up tge good work. Waoting for more..
Great.
I just don't feel comfortable with videoing me in any way or having non doctors in with me. I even have trouble with opposite sex staff being in when I am exposed at all. This has gotten worse with the ridicule and humiliation by non doctor staff.
Staff in the or is there to care for you. They should behave in a very professional manner. If you need care you should go and get it.
