Save your limb with expert vascular intervention.
Sudden leg pain, numbness, or non-healing diabetic foot wounds? Timely endovascular treatment can restore blood flow and prevent amputation. Every hour matters — seek expert care now.
Understanding Limb Ischemia Treatment
Acute limb ischemia (ALI) is a sudden loss of blood flow to an arm or leg, usually caused by a blood clot or embolus. Without prompt treatment, the affected limb can suffer irreversible damage within hours, potentially leading to amputation.
Diabetic foot disease is a chronic condition where narrowed or blocked arteries reduce blood flow to the feet, leading to non-healing ulcers, gangrene, and infection. Endovascular revascularisation restores blood flow through blocked arteries using balloons, stents, and atherectomy devices — helping wounds heal and preventing amputation.
What Are Endovascular Limb-Saving Procedures?
These procedures use catheter-based techniques to reopen blocked arteries in the legs and feet. For acute limb ischemia, catheter-directed thrombolysis dissolves the clot, while aspiration thrombectomy physically removes it. For diabetic foot disease, balloon angioplasty widens narrowed arteries and drug-coated balloons or stents maintain long-term patency. Dr. Vrishit Saraswat performs these procedures through a small puncture, using real-time imaging for precise artery navigation. The goal is always limb salvage — restoring blood flow to heal wounds and prevent amputation.
Focused Patient Care
Every ischemic limb is unique. We perform detailed CT angiography and Doppler assessment to map the pattern of arterial blockages and design the most effective revascularisation strategy.
24/7 Care
Acute limb ischemia is a vascular emergency. Our team provides rapid assessment and catheter-based intervention, because restoring blood flow within 6 hours is critical to saving the limb.
Timely Care
Post-revascularisation wound care, diabetic foot management, and long-term vascular follow-up are integral to lasting results. We coordinate with wound care and diabetology teams for comprehensive management.
Pinhole access techniques for minimal trauma and faster recovery
Advanced image-guided navigation for precision targeting of vascular structures
Expertise in emergency angioembolization for internal bleeding control
Our Treatment Process
Here is what to expect during your limb ischemia or diabetic foot vascular treatment journey:
1
Diagnosis & Planning
Advanced imaging scans help pinpoint blockages, bleeding, or vascular abnormalities; treatment is tailored to your exact condition and medical history.
2
Minimally Invasive Procedure
A catheter is inserted through a pinhole access point to treat the target vessel without open surgery, using real-time imaging guidance.
3
Recovery & Monitoring
Most patients recover quickly with minimal pain and receive comprehensive follow-up care to track healing progress and ensure optimal outcomes.
FAQs About The Service
Frequently asked questions about limb ischemia and diabetic foot treatment:
What are endovascular interventions?
Endovascular interventions are minimally invasive procedures performed inside blood vessels using catheters and specialized tools, guided by real-time imaging to treat vascular conditions without open surgery.
How long does an endovascular procedure take?
Most endovascular procedures take 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on complexity. Simple embolizations may take 30-45 minutes, while complex angioplasty or stenting procedures may take 1-2 hours.
What is the recovery time after endovascular treatment?
Recovery is typically faster than open surgery. Most patients can return to normal activities within 24-48 hours, with full recovery in 1-2 weeks. Heavy lifting restrictions may apply for 7-10 days.
Are endovascular procedures painful?
These procedures are performed under local anesthesia with conscious sedation. Patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure and mild soreness at the access site afterward, which resolves within 2-3 days.
What are the risks of endovascular interventions?
Risks are generally low and include minor bleeding at the access site, temporary bruising, or rare allergic reactions to contrast dye. Serious complications are uncommon due to the minimally invasive nature of these procedures.
Will I need to stay in the hospital overnight?
Most endovascular procedures are day-care procedures. Patients typically go home the same day after 4-6 hours of observation. Overnight stay may be required for complex cases or if complications arise.
