Circulation Reconstruction Procedures

At Lucknow Diabetic Foot and Wound Care Centre, Circulation Reconstruction is a critical component of our limb-saving approach to diabetic foot care. Patients with diabetes often suffer from peripheral arterial disease (PAD), which restricts blood flow to the lower limbs. This poor circulation delays wound healing, increases the risk of infection, and can ultimately lead to gangrene or amputation if left untreated. Our center offers advanced circulation reconstruction procedures to restore blood flow, promote healing, and prevent complications.

What Is Circulation Reconstruction?

Circulation reconstruction refers to medical or surgical procedures that re-establish proper blood flow to the legs and feet by bypassing, clearing, or repairing blocked or narrowed arteries. These procedures are tailored to each patient's condition and are guided by detailed noninvasive vascular testing, such as ABI, TBI, and Duplex Ultrasound, which help us identify the exact location and severity of the blockage.

Why It Matters in Diabetic Foot Care

In patients with diabetic neuropathy, symptoms like pain, numbness, or tingling can mask the signs of poor circulation. Without adequate blood flow, even small wounds can become serious infections. When wounds don’t heal, patients are at higher risk of developing deep infections and tissue death (gangrene). Restoring circulation is often the first and most important step in saving a limb.

Who Needs Circulation Reconstruction?

You may be a candidate for circulation reconstruction if you:
- Have a non-healing diabetic foot ulcer
- Show signs of poor wound healing or skin discoloration
- Suffer from cold feet, leg pain, or numbness
- Are diagnosed with peripheral vascular disease
- Have been advised that amputation may be necessary

Our team will evaluate your vascular health through advanced diagnostic testing and create a personalized treatment plan.

Types of Reconstruction Procedures We Offer

1. Endovascular Procedures
These are minimally invasive techniques performed through small incisions using catheters. Common procedures include:
- Angioplasty – A balloon is inflated inside the artery to open blockages.
- Stenting – A small mesh tube is placed in the artery to keep it open.
- Atherectomy – Plaque is removed from artery walls using a specialized device.

2. Surgical Bypass
In cases of severe blockages, a surgical bypass may be performed to reroute blood flow using a vein or synthetic graft. This provides an alternate path for blood to reach the lower limbs.

3. Hybrid Procedures
Some patients may benefit from a combination of endovascular and surgical techniques, tailored to improve long-term success and minimize recovery time.
