PV and peripheral artery disease PAD
Recently diagnosed with PV.
several years ago, I had an angioplasty in my right femoral artery due to a significant blockage there, diagnosed as peripheral artery disease. I hadn’t smoked in over 30 years. I’m curious if there is an association between PAD and PV.

Polycythemia Vera. An extremely rare blood cancer.
I would also be interested in any connection. I have had CLL /SLL for some years, was diagnosed with PV last year and also had some Peripheral Artery Disease in my legs. Seems like a lot for my blood to handle!! None of the Drs I have spoken with have made any links. PV result of genetic JaK2 mutation as I understand it.
