my husband just went into surgery for femoral blockage. I haven t heard from the doctor yet, but the ICU nurse said they did an angiogram, but not angioplasty. She mentioned diffuse arterial disease. I am confused now. I thought the angioplasty and/or stent would be done to fix the problem. to me, angiogram only sounds like the problem could not be fixed. If this is so, what is next,? He is diabetic and had a femoral bypass done on the other leg 4 years ago---major operation!
