Описание к видео What is critical limb ischemia?

Critical limb ischemia is a severe block in the arteries of the hands, feet, or legs. Arteries are blood vessels supplying oxygenated blood. Marked decrease in blood supply causes severe pain and formation of sores in the skin which are difficult to heal. Pain may be severe enough to disturb sleep and may be partially relieved by hanging the leg over the bed. Critical limb ischemia is a severe form of peripheral artery disease known in short as PAD. It needs urgent medical attention.
