They Lost Their Legs. Doctors and Health Care Giants Profited.

Atherectomies and other procedures on Kelly Hanna’s veins and arteries started in February 2019.

Her records do not always show which vessels Dr. Mustapha performed procedures on, instead only indicating which leg.

That August, Ms. Hanna’s right baby toe had to be amputated.

Just over a year after the first procedure, she had undergone more than a dozen.

When she went to the hospital in July 2020, her right foot was purple and cold to the touch. A vascular surgeon at the hospital, Dr. Judith Lin, said in an interview that she had no choice but to amputate above the knee.
