blockage in artery

[Birky]

Does anyone else have experience with blockage in the Iliac artery. They found this when I had the angiogram prior to the surgery. The angiogram showed 80% blockage but the vascular testing showed nothing. I am scheduled to see the Cardiologist in December and I know putting a stent in is going to be addressed at this time. I have had 2 knee surgeries and are still having trouble with the pain in the back of my leg and my butt when walking alot. This is a symptom of the blockage. In fact I have had 2 vascular studies and both were negative. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

Hi Marcia,

Sorry you are having to deal with this as well. I don't know how much research you have already done but there is some good information at"

Thanks for the quick reply. This is a very good article. The leg was good for a while and now starting to act up again. I will see what he has to say in December. If there is something that needs to be fixed, has to be done this year for insurance purposes. I don't think I wanted to deal with this since I was dealing with surgery. Thanks again,
