Dr. Edward D. Buch MD's Expert Contributions
My family has a history of cardiac issues, and I'm worried. Is it likely that I will develop issues in the future?
The answer is yes, artery disease is somewhat hereditary, but environmental factors, smoking, obesity, diabetes, and diet add to the risk. If you have a strong family Hx or any of the above factors, see a heart doctor in your 50's. But can decrease risk somewhat with daily aspirin and decreasing cholesterol. READ MORE
What does an angioplasty procedure involve?
A fairly low risk procedure if heart vessels usually will require a stent and then plavix if in the legs then ballooning alone or stent may be needed simply it dilates the blood vessel READ MORE
What are the factors causing venous insufficiency?
Simply heredity, injuries, standing for long periods of time, or if the pt has a blood clotting problem, clots damage the veins. READ MORE
I am 7 months pregnant and suffering from varicose veins. Will this condition persist even after my delivery?
It will resolve somewhat but may have some persistent damage each succeeding pregnancy will make it worse READ MORE
I have severe pain in my calf without any injury. What could be the reason?
This could be a number of things from a clot in your calf. Local injury, neurological pinching of nerves, i.e., your back, etc., if continues, get ultrasound first, see a doctor. READ MORE
Between Bypass surgery and angioplasty what is better?
It depends on the location and extent of disease angioplasty good for iliac arteries and short segment narrowing or blockage of legs. But angioplasty other than iliac location has a high rate of recurrence and will need future intervention surgery better option for more extensive disease and longer lasting. Consult only a vascular surgeon not a cardiologist or radiologist since they only do angioplasty READ MORE
My father has been detected with peripheral artery disease. Please advise.
It depends on the degree of disease: if mild, close follow up; if more severe, need to see a vascular surgeon not a cardiologist; they are completely trained in all aspects of vascular disease. READ MORE

Just the pressure from the baby pushing on the major vein in your abdomen, obstructing the leg veins. READ MORE
