Vascular surgery: treatment of lower limb ischemia

Restore the ability to walk normally!

Lower limb ischemia occurs when blood flow to the legs is restricted because of narrowed or blocked arteries. This leads to insufficient oxygen and nutrient supply to the tissues, causing pain and tissue damage.

Common symptoms of lower limb ischemia:

Pain during walking or physical activity

Persistent pain even at rest

Numbness or weakness

Ulcers or wounds that do not heal

Changes in skin color (paleness or bluish tint)

Legs may feel cold to the touch

Lower limb ischemia is often caused by atherosclerosis, where fatty deposits build up on the artery walls, narrowing them and reducing blood flow. As the disease progresses, critical limb ischemia may develop, which is characterized by severe pain, ulcers, or gangrene, requiring urgent medical intervention.

Patients with lower limb ischemia may face numerous challenges, including:

  • Reduced physical activity due to pain.
  • Decreased quality of life from constant discomfort.
  • Increased risk of infections and amputations due to non-healing wounds.
  • Psychological issues, including anxiety and depression.

How do MSCs work in treating lower limb ischemia?

In treating lower limb ischemia, MSCs are injected directly into the affected area. They work through several mechanisms:

Stimulating the formation of new blood vessels, which improves blood supply to damaged tissues.

Reducing inflammation, which helps decrease tissue damage and promotes healing.

Supporting the regeneration of cells and tissues, enhancing their functionality and reducing ischemic symptoms.

Effects of MSC therapy for patients

Patients who undergo MSC therapy may experience the following positive effects:

Reduction of pain syndrome;

Improved healing of trophic ulcers;

Enhanced mobility;

Increased walking distance;

Improved hemodynamic parameters;

Better quality of life.

The method of stem cell therapy for treating lower limb ischemia has been proven to be the most effective approach for restoring blood vessels and improving blood flow, leading to a significant enhancement in patients’ quality of life.
