Limb preservation is at the forefront of care for patients with peripheral artery disease
(PAD) and other vascular conditions that threaten ambulation and quality of life. At the Vascular Institute of Chattanooga (VIC), we offer advanced treatments designed to prevent amputation and improve circulation.
Innovative Treatments at VIC:
- Angioplasty and Stenting: These minimally invasive procedures use balloons and stents to open narrowed arteries, restoring blood flow and promoting healing in affected tissues.
- Atherectomy: This procedure removes plaque buildup in arteries, a common cause of PAD. By improving blood flow, atherectomy can reduce symptoms like pain and difficulty walking.
- Shockwave Lithoplasty: Using sound waves to break up calcified plaques, this advanced technique is ideal for patients with severe arterial blockages.
- Comprehensive Wound Care: For patients with non-healing wounds, VIC offers therapies like debridement, skin grafting, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy to support recovery and reduce the risk of amputation.
By combining these treatments with individualized care plans, VIC helps patients achieve better outcomes, preserving limbs and enhancing mobility. If you’re concerned about limb loss or PAD, contact VIC to explore advanced treatment options.
