I had a correction of the Aorta (Coarctation) a few years back. They opened the coarc and checked my three branches in the heart. Doc said he never saw a guy who had some partially clogged at my age. Nothing found in mine. All good to go. They told me that a part of the mesh or something that was contained in there off was to be brought down to my left leg and left there. Anybody know what I am talking about? I hope so because within the last two weeks my artery in my left leg between the knee and the groin area has started to hurt for some unknown reason and I think it is because of that procedure. Should I be worried about this pain?
It comes and goes and never lasts more than an hour or so. On a scale of 1 - 10, I would give the pain a 5 when it occurs. I need some opinions here Doc's.
