I had a quadruple bypass in 98. Two stents put in in 90. I had a popliteal bypass (artery in leg) and have had nothing but problems with it. When I stand up, it feels like the plastic artery is jamming into my body. It also acts like my leg is twisted. Has anyone out there had this done and have they had problems with it? in April of this year, one of my stents became blocked. They were putting radiation seeds at the stent site, when my artery kept tearing. I wound up with 6 stents in one artery, lost 4 pints of blood, had a heart attack and it never seems to stop. If anyone has had these problems--please let me know. Thank you very much. Linda
