Saint Luke’s Limb Salvage Program
The multidisciplinary Saint Luke’s Limb Salvage team with Saint Luke’s Hospital Vascular Center provides an innovative care approach to restore blood flow and preserve limbs. We offer the full range of treatments from lifestyle changes to medication management to non-surgical and surgical treatments. Our comprehensive care also addresses other contributing factors, including nutrition and difficult-to-control health conditions.
Poor circulation in your legs and feet caused by periphery artery disease (PAD) and other conditions can leave limbs susceptible to complications such as infections, ulcers, and gangrene. When left untreated, such complications can lead to the need for limb amputation.
The cardiovascular experts at Saint Luke's Vascular Center are skilled at limb preservation by diagnosing and treating conditions that might normally require amputation.
