experience is, it lacks credibility especiall when you base it on YOUR experience.  Who are you?  How much experience do you actually have?  What kind of experience do you have?  How many diabetic patients have you encountered in your years of experience?


You can't expect to make a sweeping generalization like "all diabetics have hypertension" and not get called out on it.  Come on!  Know your place.  Arrogance is an unattactive personality trait.

How Is Peripheral Vascular Disease Treated?


There are two basic ways to treat atherosclerotic disease: medication, surgery, and minimally invasive interventional procedures such as stent implantation and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. The purpose of these treatments is to eliminate or reduce the symptoms you may have.


Medications can be used alone or in combination with one of the treatments. While medications do not eliminate the narrowing of arteries, they can help improve the efficiency of the heart and reduce symptoms such as leg pain, claudication, and hypertension.


In some cases, bypass surgery may be required in the peripheral arteries if the atherosclerosis is severe enough. Bypass surgery is a way of creating new channels to carry blood around the blocked areas in your peripheral arteries. With the patient under general anesthesia, surgeons take a portion of a small blood vessel from the leg or chest to use as the new "bypass artery." They sew or "graft" one end of the bypass to the affected artery and the other end to the artery beyond the narrowed area. Blood then flows through the new grafted vessel, "bypassing" or avoiding the blockage in the peripheral artery.


Some of the common surgeries in the peripheral anatomy are femoral-popliteal bypass (for the legs) and renal artery bypass (for the kidneys).
