Peripheral Vascular Intervention ?

Are you suffering from dry gangrene of the limbs, particularly in a diabetic patient profile? The peripheral vascular intervention can be effectively performed prior to the development of dry gangrene or in the early stages of dry gangrene to prevent amputation and salvage the limb.

We offer a comprehensive service for aortic iliac, SFA, and below-knee (infrapopliteal) vascular interventions.

We have a dedicated team, trained in peripheral vascular intervention under my supervision for the last 20 years. At present, we are based in Saleem Memorial Hospital to provide this valuable service in the private sector, which unfortunately is not available in all public sector hospitals.

Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) refers to any condition that affects the blood vessels outside of the heart and brain. The most common forms of peripheral vascular disease include Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) and Chronic Limb Ischemia (CLI). These conditions can lead to a range of symptoms, from intermittent claudication (pain during walking) to critical conditions such as leg amputation or stroke. Dr. Masood Ahmed, an experienced interventional cardiologist and endovascular specialist, offers cutting-edge treatment options for these conditions, helping patients regain mobility and improve their quality of life.

Dr. Masood specializes in Peripheral Vascular Intervention, which involves minimally invasive procedures to treat blockages and narrowing of arteries in the limbs, particularly the legs. His expertise covers a wide range of vascular treatments, ensuring personalized and effective care for each patient.

What is Peripheral Vascular Disease?

Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) occurs when the arteries that supply blood to the limbs become narrowed or blocked due to the build-up of fatty deposits (atherosclerosis). When blood flow is restricted, the affected area of the body, usually the legs or feet, doesn’t receive enough oxygen and nutrients, leading to pain, numbness, and, if untreated, tissue death. The disease often manifests as:

  • Intermittent Claudication: Pain in the legs, especially while walking, that goes away with rest.
  • Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI): Severe blockage that leads to leg pain at rest, ulcers, and, in extreme cases, amputation.
  • Dry Gangrene: A condition where the tissue in the legs or feet becomes dry, black, and necrotic due to a lack of blood supply, particularly common in diabetic patients.

The underlying causes of PVD include diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and smoking, all of which lead to the narrowing and hardening of blood vessels.

Why Peripheral Vascular Intervention is Necessary?

Peripheral vascular intervention is crucial for patients who experience significant discomfort or life-threatening symptoms due to PVD.
