Alternatives to Amputation: Preserve Your Limb with Interventional Radiology

For individuals facing the possibility of amputation due to conditions like peripheral artery disease (PAD), vascular disease, or diabetes-related complications, there is hope. As Interventional Radiologists, we specialize in minimally invasive treatments designed to prevent amputation and save limbs.

Why Consider Interventional Radiology Before Amputation?

Interventional radiology offers cutting-edge, image-guided procedures that can restore blood flow, heal wounds, and prevent the progression of vascular disease—often eliminating the need for amputation. These techniques not only save limbs but also preserve mobility and improve quality of life.

Key Interventional Treatments to Prevent Amputation:

• Angioplasty and Stenting Angioplasty opens blocked or narrowed arteries, restoring blood flow. In some cases, a stent is placed to keep the artery open, ensuring long-term circulation improvement.
• Laser Atherectomy This procedure removes plaque buildup inside arteries using laser technology, allowing for improved blood flow to the extremities and reducing the risk of wounds that lead to amputation.
• Thrombolysis If a blood clot is the cause of poor circulation, thrombolysis can dissolve the clot using specialized medication delivered directly to the site, restoring blood flow to the affected limb.
• Embolization Used in specific conditions like diabetic foot ulcers, embolization can stop abnormal bleeding or shrink abnormal blood vessels to promote healing and reduce infection risk.
• Bypass Alternatives In some cases, advanced endovascular procedures can be used as alternatives to traditional bypass surgeries, providing a less invasive way to address severe blockages.
• Why Early Intervention Matters The sooner you address symptoms like non-healing wounds or numbness in the feet, the better your chances of avoiding amputation. Consulting with an interventional radiologist early allows you to explore all available options to save your limb.
