63 y/o male here. I feel you. I've had PAD since 2017. Two stents , one in each illeac 2017 and 19. The second is a kissing stent with the end of my aorta in 2020 diagnosed with a 4.8 aaa. Now reduced to a 4.1. However, the doc vascular who did my surgeries has been monitoring this and my renal artery which suffer from 60 to 90 percent blockages bilaterally will be stenting them this coming Wed. He noticed it in the aaa ct scan in 2020. Says it's now time due to sudden increasing in my BP went from 10 mg lisinopril to 30 mg daily along with metiprolol and clopidogrol... very anxious for the evar procedure. Concerned of the nearness to my aaa. Doc said thabk God you have two renal arteries on each side. Asking for praywrs Wed. Been a mild to moderate smoker for 35 years! Down to half a pack a day... All is on God's hands
