Condamnată la amputație, și-a salvat piciorul în ultimul moment. Semnele unei boli pe care mulți le ignoră

A patient on the verge of amputation was saved by Dr. Viorel Rusu, highlighting the serious issue of peripheral artery disease (PAD) in Romania. Many ignore symptoms like cold feet and leg pain, attributing them to aging, which can lead to severe consequences. PAD affects over 200 million people globally and is a leading cause of limb loss. The article emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and modern minimally invasive treatments like rotational atherectomy, which can restore blood flow and prevent amputations. Dr. Rusu urges patients not to delay seeking medical help for vascular issues.
