Dear Dr. SerVaas: I have had an aortic aneurysm for four-plus years. It is presently at the "five" level in size. In general, what is the surgical risk percentage for a 75-year-old male? Might one be better off not doing surgery and just going on as I have these past years?

Ten million Americans have peripheral vascular disease (PVD), a potentially fatal disease caused by blocked blood flow in the legs. Symptoms include leg or hip pain when walking and a color change in the skin of legs or feet.
Dear Dr. SerVaas: I read with interest the article "Keeping Healthy Legs for Life." Can yon tell me where in the Kansas City, Missouri, area I could get the free test for peripheral vascular disease (PVD)?
