Blood vessels in the hands and feet are blocked like the brain!

Many times patients say that my heart has two, three, or four blocks in my blood vessels. But where is the block actually? Just as there are blood vessels in the heart, there are blood vessels all over the body. If there is a blockage in the blood vessels of the heart, it is called a heart attack. And if the blood vessels in the brain are blocked, it is called a stroke. And this block can be anywhere. Such as in the blood vessels of the hands or in the blood vessels of the feet.

Ibrahim Cardiac Hospital, Assistant Professor of Vascular Surgery, Dr. about the blockage and treatment of blood vessels in the hands and feet. Saqlain Russell.

Blood vessels in the hands and feet can be blocked in two ways. If it is blocked suddenly, there are some reasons for it. For example, blood clots have formed inside the heart in the blood vessels of the heart. And if this blood clot goes into the hands or feet, then the blood vessels may close suddenly. In addition, many people have an extra bone in the throat that can put pressure on the blood vessels. And then it can block the blood vessels inside the hand.

When the blood vessels in the hands and feet are blocked, it happens suddenly and slowly again. Suddenly we call it a hand attack or leg attack.

Hand Attack or Leg Attack:

Sudden severe pain in the hands or feet. And there is so much pain that the medicine is not reducing it. And if the test shows that there are no pearls in the legs. Slowly the hands or feet are turning black.

At one point the pain is gone but the ha or foot is getting cold. And when it is taken to the doctor, the doctor says that the hand or foot is not alive. It must be cut. If a blood vessel in someone's hand or foot suddenly becomes blocked, then there is only 7-8 hours to heal the hand or foot.

High blood pressure and diabetes, excessive fat in the blood, etc. can cause chronic blockage in the legs. In this case, when you go for a walk, your legs get sore and it hurts. When the severity of the disease increases, there is pain even at rest. Due to low blood circulation, a slight injury causes gangrene or gangrene in the legs and it does not want to heal easily.

The Angiogram of the foot can be done like the heart. If a block is found in the leg during the duplex test, the location of the blood vessel block can be confirmed by an angiogram. A blood vessel block is removed through angioplasty. When the angiogram is done, a narrow or closed blood vessel is first thickened with a balloon, and a ring, ring, or stent is placed in that place. As a result, blood can circulate through the ring. The advantage of this is that it does not require tearing and requires less time in the hospital. The risk of infection is low.

Ringing or stenting of the legs can be done just like removing heart block. Bypass surgery can be done again, the affected area can be cleaned if necessary. There is also the opportunity to apply injections. However, blockage of the legs does not mean barge disease. Some people waste time by taking unnecessary painkillers, expensive tests like X-rays or MRIs for the pain caused by vascular problems in the legs. There is a risk of premature mutilation. If there is no pulse or pulse with the hands and feet or if the pulse feels weak, it is understood that the patient has some problems in the blood vessels. In that case, proper examination and treatment should be taken.
