Aneurysm & occlusive disease, atherosclerosis, leg pain, arterial wounds and gangrene, amputation prevention. Vein disorders: Blood Clots (DVT), post-phlebetic syndrome, varicose veins, venous stasis ulcers. I can help with vascular wound treatments. Also, Raynauds, Buerger`s disease, Thoracic Outlet and other miscellaneous vascular disorders.
I CANNOT answer questions about your heart disease, blood pressure, brain aneurysm, although I can help with questions about the arteries that go to and from those organs.

Vascular Surgery - aneurysm in the left interior iliac artery
Expert: Lauri Ordway - 11/4/2009
Question
I am having stents inserted next week at the top and bottom of my left interior iliac artery to shut off a 6.7 cm aneurysm located in the artery. What happens to the blood that is presently in there? Do they drain it out before closing both ends with stents? What are the side effects of no blood flow in that area anymore? Also, how long timewise is this stent surgery?
Answer
Bob, I am sorry but we dont do stents, that would be an interventional radiologist or a vascular surgeon with those additional skills. I wish I could answer these concerns for you but I think your best bet is asking the physician who will be doing your procedure. sorry i could not be more help. lauri
