Critical limb ischemia treatment aims to restore blood flow to the legs or feet in patients with severe peripheral artery disease (PAD). This condition occurs when the arteries that supply blood to the legs are severely narrowed or blocked, leading to symptoms such as pain, ulcers, or even tissue death. Treatment options include angioplasty, stenting, bypass surgery, or sometimes amputation if blood flow cannot be restored.
Critical limb ischemia treatment is essential for preventing amputation, improving limb function, and enhancing the quality of life for individuals with advanced PAD.
