Limb Salvage Program
The MaineHealth Limb Salvage program provides patients with limb-threatening PAD (Peripheral Arterial Disease) access to comprehensive revascularization treatments. Vascular disease and associated nerve damage can lead to non-healing wounds, infections, ischemia (where tissue is starved of oxygen) and tissue death. Such conditions, both complex and urgent, require coordinated action by a team with a wide-range of experience.
Conditions:
