Benefits of care at our wound and vascular center
Blood flow or limited circulation due to an underlying vascular disease can slow wound healing. This is especially true for wounds in your extremities, such as your ankles and toes. Because of this relationship between your circulatory system and your ability to heal wounds, vascular surgeons are a key part of our wound care team.
Some vascular disorders that may cause slow healing wounds include advanced peripheral vascular disease, lymphedema and diabetic vascular disease. Our surgeons have additional training to diagnose and treat these disorders and prevent them from hindering your recovery. Some of the procedures they may use are revascularization (blockage removal) treatments, such as angioplasty or bypass surgery. These surgeries restore or improve your circulation.
