Mr. Ke, a diabetic, works as an accountant in Xingma. Three months ago, a small piece of skin on his left calf festered, but he was too busy to attend to. He didn't go to the hospital for emergency treatment until the wound spread and worsened. However, doctors in this country judge that the amputation rate is high. Worried about amputation, Mr. Ke switched to health food that claimed to be effective, and as a result, his symptoms worsened. In order to save his calf, he kept asking for help after returning to China until he went to the foot injury center of Annan Hospital for treatment and received iliac vein stent treatment.
Iliac vein stent successfully rescued the patient's feet.
When Mr. Ke went to the foot injury center for treatment, two-thirds of the skin on his left calf had festered, giving off an obvious stench, indicating a serious infection. Doctors now judge that it should be a serious vascular disease caused by diabetes. After examination, it was found that the abnormal arterial disease of lower limbs was abnormal venous return caused by severe iliac vein stenosis. Chen Weihua, director of cardiovascular surgery in Foot Trauma Center, pointed out that through iliac vein stent treatment and plastic surgery debridement, the skin with deep bone trauma has grown by 95%, and with the patient's active rehabilitation, Mr. Ke finally saved his feet.
A diabetic foot wound that has not healed for one month may increase the risk of amputation.
If the diabetic foot wound does not heal for more than one month, it may increase the chance of wound infection and increase the risk of amputation. Once amputated, not only will the activity decrease, but half of the patients may die of other cardiovascular diseases within two years. Director Chen Weihua said that after the wound was infected, the injured limb could only be saved with the help of the foot wound nursing teams in the Department of Metabolism, Plastic Surgery, Infectious Diseases, Nephrology and Vascular Surgery. Therefore, if the blood vessels are completely evaluated and treated, the chances of wound healing will increase by 70%.
Diabetic patients with lower extremity ulcers should seek medical treatment as soon as possible to avoid deterioration.
10 years, Annan Hospital has successfully treated 1000 feet, of which 60% are diabetic feet, most of which belong to arterial occlusion, and some patients have venous reflux at the same time, showing a large range of skin lesions similar to stasis phlebitis; Director Chen Weihua appealed that diabetic patients should seek medical treatment as soon as possible if they have ulcers on their toes or other parts of their lower limbs, so as to avoid delaying treatment due to mistaken belief in remedies. With the help of a complete medical team, it will definitely help to delay the continuous deterioration of their condition.
