Nana asked:


My mother (76 y old) has Peripheral Arterial Disease of the legs. Stents have been done on both legs (years ago). Both stents have now failed. She is experiencing severe pain in her left foot, which she first suspected it might be gout (I don’t believe it’s gout).
I know she will need to see a doctor for this.
My question is this: Does anyone know what happens after medicine and surgery have been exhausted in the treatment for this disease?
