... The blockage is about 70-90%. My question is have other people who have taken Avandia developed this condition? If so how have they responded to treatment and what other drugs have they taken to treat the blockage. My condition is a split of the inner linning in the artery and is not treatable by stents or by pass surgerys
I was taking the drug Avandia for about 4 years. I developed a blockage of AOD artery in my heart.?

It is unfortunate that no one has responded but there is a possibility that Avandia caused your condition.
Please see information below.
Important information about Avandia
Taking Avandia may increase your risk of serious heart problems, such as heart attack or stroke. Therefore, Avandia is available only to certain people with type 2 diabetes that cannot be controlled with other diabetes medications.
Do not use Avandia if you have type 1 diabetes, or if you are in a state of diabetic ketoacidosis (call your doctor for treatment with insulin).
Before taking Avandia, tell your doctor if you have congestive heart failure or heart disease, a history of heart attack or stroke, liver disease, or eye problems caused by diabetes.
