Specialized treatment for wounds caused by poor arterial circulation. When blood flow is compromised, wounds struggle to heal—but advanced regenerative therapies can make all the difference.
Arterial wounds happen when your arteries can't deliver oxygen-rich blood to your tissues
Arteries narrow from atherosclerosis
Less oxygen reaches extremities
Cells die without oxygen
Open wound that won't heal
These factors damage arteries and restrict blood flow
#1 risk factor - damages blood vessel walls and accelerates plaque buildup
Peripheral arterial disease - narrowed arteries in legs/feet
High blood sugar damages blood vessels over time
Chronic hypertension stresses and damages artery walls
LDL cholesterol forms plaque inside arteries
Natural arterial aging increases risk significantly
You need BOTH parts working together for arterial wounds to heal
Wounds can't heal without oxygen. First priority is improving circulation:
Ankle-brachial index (ABI) test to measure blood flow
May need angioplasty, stenting, or bypass surgery
Smoking cessation, blood pressure, cholesterol management
Once blood flow improves, regenerative therapies can finally work:
Promotes angiogenesis (new blood vessel growth) to nourish healing tissue
Provides growth factors and proteins that accelerate tissue repair
Remove dead tissue and biofilm that block healing
Aggressive antibiotic therapy when needed (arterial wounds easily infected)
Call 911 or go to the ER immediately if you have:
⏰ Time matters. These symptoms may indicate complete arterial blockage requiring emergency surgery to save the limb.
Our wound specialists work directly with your vascular surgeon to ensure both parts of your treatment plan work together seamlessly.
