It's not uncommon for patients with diabetes, or people who smoke, to have a foot or part of their leg amputated while battling this disease. The culprit: Peripheral Artery Disease.
In tonight's special report, Natalie Bomke has the story of how one Chicago doctor was able to save a patient's foot using a rarely performed procedure.
"When the surgery was performed, there was only so many arteries he could angioplasty, which did get blood flow to the foot," said Lee. That's when his doctor referred him to Dr. Kumar Madassery, a vascular interventional radiologist at Rush University Medical Center. Dr. Madassery has performed only 30 of them in the last two years. While this procedure can’t save every limb, he believes it can save more of them.
