[AMP-L] Leg Artery Disease Can Lead to Amputation, But a Surgery May Help Prevent That

[Wayne Renardson]

via US News & World Report:

Doctors know a lot about the best ways to treat heart attacks and 
strokes, but until now they really didn´t have this kind of 
information for peripheral artery disease (PAD).  

Affecting as many as 10 million people in the United States, PAD is 
marked by a plaque buildup in the arteries of the legs, causing pain 
and trouble walking. More than 10% of people with PAD develop chronic 
limb-threatening ischemia, which increases their risk for amputation  
and death.
