Guest guest Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Holli, I wanted to know if anyone with CMT has ever had stents in their legs! The doc is talking about doing that ..I know what stents are and what it does. But is wise when one has CMT and it is done for leg circulation???? Geri Stents are like tiny straws that are placed into any vessels (usually coronary arteries in the heart) that are being narrowed for any reason. It creates a pathway for blood to more easily get through a narrowed area so that oxygen can be delivered to all the tissues. It's usually an alternative that is less invasive than by-pass.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Thanks . Geri I can't see any reason they shouldn't be just as helpful to someone with CMT as anyone else. > > > > Has any of you had a stints put in your legs to improve circulation? > > Geri > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
