Suggest Treatment For Buerger S Disease And Peripheral Artery Disease

My Husband has Buerger s Disease and Peripheral Artery Disease, they just found that he has 50% blockage in carotid artery. Also they found extensive abnormal T2 hyperintensity signal lesions on both cerebral hemispheres scattered and located ib bitger periventricular and subcortical locations. he has a 1.5x 0,6 hiperintese T2 subcortical white matter on his front lobe without mass effect. What does this mean and from what I have looked up is it similar to the ischemic pain he has in his arms and legs. he is also a amputee. and only has 2 toes left the rest cut down to tarcel bone

Hi
Thank you for trusting HCM
I read your query and understand your concern
It seems your husband is suffering from diffuse arteropathy
The MRI report tells about multiple cerebral ischemic lessions probably from carotid stenosis
As I treat my patient similar to your husband condition antiagregants are need, two of them
You should discuss with your doctor about my opinion and start aspirin and klopidogrel
Wish you good health and fast recovery
