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
