. Growing Blood Vessels Around Clots in Leg Arteries may Treat
Painful Walking. January 10, 2000 Like hearts, legs can also suffer
from "attacks" when too little blood flows through clogged and narrowed
arteries. And like angina in a heart, this lack of oxygen-rich blood to
muscles that need it produces pain. Leg by-pass surgery and angioplasty
can help some patients, but most people with leg clots walk as little as
possible to avoid the pain. (by Renee
