Diabetes and Endovascular Therapy
Do you know?
Diabetes causes a buildup of sugar and inflammatory substances in the blood vessels, so that our blood vessels become narrow. The effect is that the delivery of nutrients and oxygen throughout the body is disrupted. Organs that do not receive oxygen and nutrients will experience damage, such as the eyes, kidneys, heart, feet and hands. In the worst case, amputation (organ cutting) due to diabetes complications must be carried out.
Symptoms to watch out for -> TINGLES IN THE HANDS AND FEET
Always have to amputate?
No, if treated immediately with endovascular therapy, the hands and feet can be saved.
One solution -> endovascular therapy ->
- Finding the presence or absence of vascular disease in the diabetic foot as early as possible,
- Able to clean wounds and treat wounds using modern methods and carry out revascularization if blockages or disease of the blood vessels in the legs are found, either with by-pass surgery or with percutaneous catheterization interventions with the installation of balloons and stents so that blood flow to the wound site becomes good again and wounds can heal.
