Dr. John Phillips introduces his patient Eric and his journey with Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI) - an advanced stage of peripheral artery disease (poor leg circulation). After facing recurring blockages in his below-knee arteries and multiple unsuccessful procedures, Eric received treatment with the innovative FDA-cleared SPUR Retrievable Stent System by Reflow Medical. In this episode, Eric shares his compelling "Save My Piggies" story and the impact of this new technology on his quality of life. Dr. Phillips discusses how this treatment option works for patients with severe PAD symptoms when conventional therapies fail to heal foot wounds and relieve debilitating leg cramps. If you're experiencing debilitating leg cramps, leg pain, or neuropathy or know someone struggling with poor circulation, contact the Global PAD Association's Leg Saver Hotline at 1-833-PAD-LEGS or visit PADhelp.org for helpful resources.
