Clogged Artery Procedure
Native New Yorker, John Astorina and his wife Fran of 41 years, love exploring the “Big Apple” on foot, soaking up all of its cultural and architectural richness.

John was suffering from diabetic ulcers on his feet. His condition got progressively worse…he developed peripheral artery disease and faced the possibility of amputation. “I was frightened, my wife was very frightened, my children I had adult children were being very supportive but I know they were frightened as well, we are a close family, but, I was determined to do whatever medically was necessary to escape amputation,” says John.
