“Eat” vessels: Obnin doctors saved the patient’s leg

Surgeon KB No8 told about the next meeting with the most dangerous stage of diabetes.

As noted in the medical center, this disease is not underestimated until it becomes visible.

Excess glucose in the blood acts toxicly on the walls of blood vessels and causes chronic inflammation of atherosclerotic plaques.

In such neglected patients, trophic changes appear on the lower leg and foot.

Then comes the terminal stage.

" The most severe stage of the disease, when the threat of amputation of the limb is already very high. This is a multifactorial complication of diabetes, which is based on neuropathy, angiopathy and a high risk of infectious complications, explains endovascular surgeon Andrei Nadybin.

In such a situation, the infection easily joins a non-healing ulcer. Only high technology can save the patient's limb.

The patient, about whom the surgeon tells, was carried out balloon angioplasty of the femoral and tibial arteries of the calf. Doctors were able to restore blood flow to the leg. Then doctors achieved wound healing and stabilized the incipient infectious process in the limb.

Then the patient was stented iliac artery, which also destroyed sugar.

Now this patient MK #8 has already painlessly and independently managed to overcome a distance of 1 kilometer. His foot healed completely. This is a man who recently faced amputation.
