How Dr. Roy helps
Blood flow assessment
A Doppler scan and, where needed, an angiogram show whether the arteries to the foot are narrowed or blocked.
Angioplasty and stenting
A narrowed artery is opened with a balloon, and sometimes a stent, through a pinhole, to bring blood back to the foot.
Working with your team
Wound care, infection control and diabetes management continue alongside, with your surgeon and physician.
Prevention
Check your feet every day, keep them clean and dry, wear well-fitting footwear, and see a doctor promptly about any wound, however small.
Where to get this treatment: Dr. Roy consults at ILS Hospital, Dum Dum and at several other hospitals in Kolkata. See consultation locations and timings, or book an appointment.
