No one can predict the time to progress the lesion. And leg lesion will not cause stroke. The decision of angioplasty should be taken on clinical grounds depending upon his symptoms as well as severity of the lesion and its location.

There’s no time frame as when it can become 100% , if the collateral supply is good we can wait long but if collateral supply is not good it may turn into gangrene very early
