Diabetic arterial occlusion, what causes pain and claudication after stenting?

  The diabetic old man in our family always feels pain in his legs and feet, so he went to the hospital and said that the blood vessels in his lower limbs were blocked. Later, the doctor arranged for the old man to have a stent, but within a few days after the stent, the old man was still in pain, and he was walking with a limp, and now he doesn’t want to walk.  Diabetic foot specialist: The patient’s condition should be typical of lower limb arterial occlusive disease, which is indeed one of the early lesions of diabetic foot, if the wound is accidentally appeared, it will be difficult to heal because of the lack of sufficient blood supply, and eventually diabetic foot will appear.  The current stenting of the elderly is a common surgical method in vascular surgery, and the problem that often occurs with surgery is that the effect is not durable and easy to recur. The situation that your old man is in may be a relapse. And, in addition to recurrence many elderly people do will also be more powerful than before, which is a common occurrence.  In this case, I personally recommend not to proceed with it, and need a comprehensive assessment of the patient’s basic situation before making the next step in treatment. It is also important to note at this point that although the patient’s foot is not currently traumatized, he or she is nevertheless already a high-risk diabetic foot patient and should be well cared for on a daily basis, checking both feet daily for any abnormalities to avoid aggravation of early symptoms.  Our treatment for arterial occlusive disease of the lower extremities currently focuses on a combination of Chinese and Western medicine for peripheral vascular disease, which is more conservative and safer than interventional or stent placement therapy in vascular surgery, and has proven to have longer-lasting results. Like our treatment of diabetic foot patients with dry gangrene, most of them suffer from mild or severe lower extremity vascular problems, and the treatment improves lower extremity circulation and oxygen saturation, and the patients’ wounds heal quickly, indicating the effectiveness of such an approach.  Of course, it is still true that the patient’s condition needs to be further examined and evaluated before a targeted treatment plan can be developed. Further consultation is available if there are still questions.
