- Dr. Juan Carlos Correa is joining us LIVE to answer your questions about Peripheral Artery Disease and Chronic Venous Insufficiency.
Some discussion points will include:
If I have Peripheral Artery Disease, what precautions should I take when I fly?
* If I'm not on blood thinners, should I talk to my doctor about doubling my aspirin dosage on the day I fly?
* Should I talk to my doctor about wearing compression socks? (what levels is ok for PAD patients? Some doctors say compression is contraindicated for PAD patients? But what if I have venous insufficiency and PAD?
Walk us through an endarterectomy, its indications coming from someone who performs both open and endovascular procedures, what happens during the procedure (tools used?), and what can we expect during recovery? How to prevent complications? Do you weigh whether to do a CFA endarterectomy different than an SFA endarterectomy?
Let's talk about femorofemoral bypasses, which are rarely used anymore because when the feeding leg goes down, both legs go down. Please explain what this procedure is, its indications, and alternatives to discuss with your doctor.

Wish I had a proactive P.v.d. doctor like him,,..every doctor I've seen, seems scared and just keeps switching p.a.'s and i'm having to continually repeat my story of what happened and all my symptoms over and over and over,,and they just keep saying see you in 6 months, unless you have issues then go too the nearest E.R. because there proactive about nothing..ugh but sure it's because I already had a full graph bypass from the heart to each leg and everything in-between
