@tc4mayo, you've been dealing with vascular disease for a long time. Gosh.
Vascular disease includes any condition that affects your circulatory system, or system of blood vessels. There are many different types of vascular disease. This article describes them here:
- Vascular Disease (Vasculopathy) https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17604-vascular-disease
Do you know what type of vascular disease you have?

I was diagnosed with Atherosclerosis, and recently Reynaud's Disease. I have to go in for further testing on Reynauds before I get a full diagnosis.
I am 78 years old.. In 1998 I had a aorta bifemoral bypass. I had 90% blockage in my left leg and 80% something in my right leg. Angioplasty failed instantly in my right leg. I felt wonderful after surgery. Twelve years later I was having some of that pain in my legs again and they did rotorooter to remove residual plaque. If you need that surgery your MD will explain everything to. I have never regreated it.

Wow, that was quite a line up!!! I think that PAD and Raynaud’s would be my nemeses. So far so good on the others. Carotid 50%. And hope to never have the renal…..i have a “lucky” horseshoe kidney!!!!
