About this listen

Welcome to Cardiovascular Matters! In this episode, Dr. Craig Walker and Terry Roberts tackle the serious condition known as critical limb ischemia (CLI), a leading cause of limb amputation.

Critical limb ischemia occurs when blockages severely reduce blood flow to the legs, causing pain, ulcers, and gangrene. Dr. Walker shares:

✔ How to recognize the symptoms and risk factors of critical limb ischemia.
✔ Why early intervention can dramatically reduce the risk of amputation.
✔ Advanced procedures available today that can restore blood flow even when patients have been told amputation is their only option.
✔ The impact of amputation on quality of life, family dynamics, and mortality.
✔ Essential medications and lifestyle changes to keep blood vessels open after treatment.

If you or a loved one are facing critical limb ischemia, have pain at rest, non-healing ulcers, or have been recommended for amputation, this episode could offer a life-changing perspective and options for limb salvage.
