Hi all, Im back in Oz and have just been diagnosed as having an intermittent occluded artery in my upper right leg, presumably due to smoking,

Im in Brisbane currently waiting to see a specialist, but wonder if anyone can reccomend vascular surgeons in Bangkok? I imagine Vejhetani, Samitivej and Bumrungrad are the most likely hospitals.

any suggestions gratefully received, thsnks in advance, Glen

This is going to be costly (I think not less than US $5,000 at Bumrungrad), I hope you have insurance.

If not, consider Dr. Mawin Vongsaisuwon at Saint Louis Hospital (he also has privileges at Bumrungrad and several other hospitals).
