My father is 75 years old, has stents near his heart and in his left leg and had surgery for blockages and a bypass in his legs. He has PVD, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and stage 4 high grade sarcoma in his right leg and abdominal area. he also has gangrene in 3 of the 5 toes on his right foot. What is his life expectancy with all of these issues?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I understand your concern for your father, your father is already completed 75 years of his life, to be very fact that the average normal life of human being is 83 years ( the figure may changes from continental to continental but does not go below 70 years) so your father have completed the natural expectancy of life in one word, and in second place now the disease are nothing to take anything with that, you just forget about his disease I hope you could understand my point, take care of your father and have nice day.
