Lee Kirksey, MD, and J. Eduardo Corso, MD, explain how smoking and nicotine damage blood vessels and drive conditions like peripheral artery disease, aneurysms, heart attack and stroke. They discuss why quitting smoking can slow disease progression, improve outcomes after vascular treatment and improve long-term health and quality of life.
