In diabetic foot patients, sugar levels are high. They also have neuropathy and vascular disease, all these factors result in high incidence of ulcers in diabetic patients which require specialized care.
Diabetes is a common chronic condition that can cause a number of serious complications. Ulcers in feet are one of the most common. In many cases serious complications can be prevented if diabetic patients are aware of proper feet care.
In chronic kidney disease patients dialysis access is very important. Thus a planned surgery by a specialized vascular surgeon is very crucial for management of chronic kidney disease patients.
An AV fistula is a passage between a vein and an artery. It is required to be formed surgically in chronic kidney disease patients for dialysis access. It requires advance planning because a fistula takes a while after surgery to develop. A surgeon creates an aAV fistula by connecting an artery directly to a vein, frequently in the forearm.
In peripheral artery disease patient's legs do not get enough blood due to narrowed arteries. Patient experiences leg pain in such conditions.
Peripheral artery disease is a common circulatory problem in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to your limbs. In this your extremities usually legs don't receive enough blood according to demand causing leg pain while walking (claudication).
In this condition, aorta is abnormally enlarged predisposing it to rupture and internal bleeding and possibly death.
Aortic aneurysm is an abnormal bulge that occurs in the wall of aorta that carries blood from heart to body. Aortic aneurysms can occur anywhere in the aorta. Abdominal aortic aneurysms often grow slowly and usually without symptoms, making them difficult to detect. Some aneurysms will never rupture. Many start small and stay small, although many expand over time. Others expand quickly.
In this condition, blood clot is formed in veins most commonly in legs, sometimes in arms and patient experiences pain swelling and redness of the affected limb.
A deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is the formation of a blood clot in a deep vein, most commonly in the leg but it can also occur in the arm. The vein can be either partially or completely blocked.
In trauma sometimes major vessels supplying blood to the limb gets injured, therefore to salvage the limb it is necessary to repair the injured vessels.
The term vascular trauma refers to injury to a blood vessel either artery or vein. These injuries are categorized by the type of trauma that caused them- blunt or penetrating injury.
In this disease, carotid arteries get blocked due to fatty plaque deposits. These plaques cause disturbed blood flow predisposing to blood clot formation in brain which can lead to paralysis or loss of vision. Thus, timely treatment of this condition is very crucial.
Carotid artery disease is a condition in which blood supply to a part of brain suffers due to atherosclerosis or fatty plaque deposition in carotid arteries or its branches.
In this condition, a blood clot is formed in veins most commonly in the legs, sometimes in the arms, and the patient experiences pain swelling and redness of the affected limb.
