In this eye-opening episode of We’re Not Stumped, host Mike Bolland speaks with Dr. Kevin Lie, a vascular and interventional radiologist at Georgia Endovascular, about why so many amputations don’t have to happen.
Dr. Lie explains how misdiagnosed or untreated peripheral artery disease (PAD) is one of the leading causes of limb loss—especially among veterans, older adults, and people living with diabetes. He shares how minimally invasive endovascular procedures can restore blood flow, reduce pain, and help patients avoid amputation when disease is caught early.
The conversation covers:
-
Why PAD is often overlooked or misunderstood
-
The warning signs patients and doctors should never ignore
-
How outpatient vascular procedures work
-
Why early referral to specialists matters
-
The power of patient advocacy and second opinions
This is a must-listen episode for anyone living with limb loss, at risk for amputation, or supporting someone with vascular disease.
