If you have wounds on your legs or feet that take a long time to heal, the problem may not be your skin—it may be your circulation. Poor blood flow caused by vascular disease, diabetes, or other conditions can prevent your body from repairing itself properly. Without treatment, these wounds may become painful, infected, or even put you at risk for serious complications.
At Valley Interventional Associates, Dr. John Lee and Dr. Navin Budhwani and their skilled nursing staffspecialize in treating slow-healing wounds by addressing the root cause: poor circulation. With advanced imaging, minimally invasive procedures, and compassionate care, we help you heal more effectively and protect your long-term health.
What Is Vascular Wound Care?
Vascular wound care focuses on treating wounds that develop because of reduced blood supply. These wounds are common in patients with peripheral arterial disease, diabetes, or chronic venous disease. Care typically involves:
- Evaluating circulation with diagnostic imaging, such as ultrasound or angiogram
- Restoring blood flow through treatments like angioplasty or stenting
- Providing specialized wound care to promote healing and prevent infection
Benefits of Vascular Wound Care
- Targets the root cause of slow healing: poor circulation
- Helps prevent infection and complications
- Promotes faster healing of chronic wounds
- Reduces the risk of amputation
- Improves comfort, mobility, and quality of life
Who Needs Wound Care?
You may benefit from vascular wound care if you:
- Have wounds or ulcers on your feet or legs that don’t heal normally
- Notice changes in skin color or texture around wounds
- Have diabetes, peripheral arterial disease, or venous disease
- Experience frequent pain, swelling, or poor circulation in your legs
The Wound Care Process
- Your circulation is evaluated with diagnostic imaging.
- If necessary, minimally invasive treatments such as angioplasty are performed to improve blood flow.
- Specialized wound care techniques are used to help your wound close and heal properly.
- You’ll receive ongoing guidance to support long-term healing and prevent future problems.
Recovery and Results
Healing depends on the size and severity of your wound, but many patients notice improvement once blood flow is restored. With the right combination of vascular treatment and wound care, you’ll have a better chance at faster healing and reducing the risk of further complications.
