I am 49 yrs old and have recently been diagnosed with PAD. My cardiologist told me I may need a stent. I am going to a vascular surgeon tomorrow and am terrified of surgery. Due to previous bad experiences, it terrifies me. The cardiologist explained somewhat Friday and I know the surgeon will go into detail. I would like to hear a patient viewpoint (someone who has already had this done).View Thread
