Thomas loves working with people and his job as a casino supervisor kept him on his feet his entire eight hour shift. But peripheral artery disease, which is plaque buildup in mainly the leg arteries, was slowing him down and putting his job in jeopardy. So, he trusted his vascular surgeons to perform whatever procedure was needed to keep him on his feet. But he didn't know the advances in treatment for PAD and that minimally invasive options were available until complications occurred following an invasive bypass procedure. He reached out to a PAD advocacy organization called, The Way To My Heart, and they informed him of innovative, minimally invasive options. But it was too late for those as the complication at that point from the previous invasive bypass procedure led to an infection of the bypass graft and incision site. His incision site blossomed like a flower and needed immediate care. Dr. David Allie, a cardio thoracic surgeon,who specializes in advanced PAD care, and has advanced wound care experience with his involvement with various breaking studies, offered new options to save his leg from amputation. Dr. Allie and Thomas share this incredible journey to get him back on his feet for good.Thomas loves working with people and his job as a casino supervisor kept him on his feet his entire eight hour shift.
