I have hear diesease in 2009 had a quadruple by pass then in 2011 i had my aeorta replaced in that process the Dr lost all feeling in left leg and sent me home after two weeks of screaming in pain he decided he would go back in and see why i had no blood flow long story short gave me 70 percent in left leg in right leg lost all feeling from knee to cutti g off all my toes.

Hello
Thanks for posting at HCM. I have gone through your description and I do understand you issues. But a blockage of 60% severity inside the mesh should not be stented as per guidelines. It can be managed with medicines. Remember with medicines the blockages don't go away or decrease, it will only stop progression of the disease.
So my opinion is to continue on medications and follow up regularly with scans and imaging modalities to assess progression of the blocks.
Wishing you good health
Regards
