Medical Conditions

When plaques form out of fat cells in your arteries, you get carotid artery disease, which limits blood flow to your brain and head (carotid arteries). A stroke, a medical emergency caused by a lack of or significant reduction in blood flow to the brain, is a real possibility now that your artery has become blocked. A stroke cuts off the oxygen supply to the brain. Symptoms of carotid artery disease typically manifest over several years. It is possible that a stroke or TIA will be the first indication that you have the disorder (TIA). Temporary ischemia is a condition in which blood supply to the brain is interrupted for an unpredictable amount of time. The first line of treatment for carotid artery disease involves lifestyle changes and prescription medications to regulate blood pressure levels; in severe cases, Carotid endarterectomy and Carotid angioplasty and stenting are generally performed.

When a blood clot (thrombus) forms in a deep vein, most commonly in the legs, the condition is known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Leg pain or edema may be symptoms of deep vein thrombosis. Long-distance travel, bed rest after surgery, illness, or an accident are all situations in which you might develop. Blood clots in the veins, known medically as deep vein thrombosis, can be extremely dangerous if they break free. The clots can then make their way to the lungs, where they might obstruct blood flow (pulmonary embolism). Venous thromboembolism is the combination of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism (VTE). Medications, inducing blood injections, and catheter directed thrombolysis are usually the line of treatment.

The necrosis (death) of a large amount of tissue with added infection causes gangrene. This can happen after an injury or infection or to someone with a chronic condition that compromises blood flow. A lack of oxygen and nutrients delivered by the blood to damaged tissues is the primary cause of gangrene.

The risk of gangrene rises with conditions like diabetes and chronic smoking. Any part of the body is affected, although the toes, feet, fingers, hands, and intestines tend to be the first to go.

Treatment for gangrene:

The treatment begins with medication, surgery, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Medications :

This includes higher antibiotics and medicines to improve the blood flow.

Surgery:

Surgery involves the removal of gangrenous parts of the body. If not done the infection from the gangrenous part will spread along the blood flow and can cause multi organ failure, septicemia, and death. So an early surgery to remove the gangrenous part is very important.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy:

In hyperbaric oxygen therapy, 100% oxygen is used in a pressurized chamber. The norm is to lie on a surface with padding that can be slid into a transparent plastic tube. Slowly, the chamber's internal pressure will increase to about 2.5 times that of the surrounding atmosphere.

The use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy increases the blood's oxygen-carrying capacity. In tissues with low oxygen levels, anaerobic germs thrive, but this process can be slowed by introducing fresh, oxygenated blood. Infected wounds can also benefit from this, as the healing process is sped up.

On average, a gangrene patient will spend 90 minutes in hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Treatments & Procedures

The vascular surgeon will surgically remove plaque that has formed within the carotid artery. The surgeon will create a cut (incision) on the side of the neck over the damaged carotid artery. The plaque is surgically removed, and the artery is dilated. The artery will be re-stitched by the surgeon. By doing so, blood flow to the brain is restored.

A catheter (a thin, flexible tube) is inserted into an artery in the groin by the vascular surgeon during the process. It will be carefully inserted into your neck to fix the blockage in your carotid artery. The tip of the catheter is a small balloon and stent that has been deflated. The balloon is inflated once it reaches the carotid's narrowest point. The confined space is thereby released and the stent is deployed. The term "carotid stenting" describes this procedure.
