The MaineHealth Limb Salvage program provides patients with limb-threatening peripheral arterial disease (PAD) 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 care by an interdisciplinary team with a wide range of experience, including experts in orthopedics and vascular surgeries.
