Imagine waking up one day and realizing you can’t move your limbs properly. Your doctor tells you it’s because your blood vessels have constricted and aren’t supplying sufficient blood to your limbs, and amputation might be necessary. Sounds terrifying, right? Thanks to the tireless work of Dr. Pedro Mego, an interventional cardiologist with a particular interest in Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) and Chronic Venous Diseases, patients now have a chance to prevent such a scenario.
