Arkansas Amputation Prevention Center at Saline Memorial Hospital
e Arkansas Amputation Prevention Center at Saline Memorial Hospital is a com- prehensive program designed to treat periph- eral arterial disease (PAD) and critical limb ischemia in order to prevent amputation.
Peripheral arterial disease — also known as peripheral vascular disease, atherosclero- sis or hardening of the arteries — is a disorder that occurs in the arteries of the circulatory system. Arteries are the blood vessels that carry oxygen and nutrient-rich blood from the heart to all areas of the body. PAD occurs in the arteries that carry blood to the arms and legs.
GOOD TO KNOW: One of the most devastating consequences of PAD is critical limb ischemia, a severe blockage of the arter- ies that reduces blood flow to the extremities. CLI results in severe pain, skin ulcers and, if left untreated, gangrene. Symptoms can in- clude a burning or aching pain in the feet and toes while resting, cool skin in the feet, red- ness or other color changes of the skin and
other symptoms. e Arkansas Amputation Prevention Center is a multidisciplinary pro- gram created to diagnose and treat arterial vascular disease and prevent amputation.
Amputations are often performed before additional tests are completed. If amputation is suggested, talk to your healthcare provid- er about other options and request a second opinion from a PAD specialist before commit- ting to amputation. For more information, call 501-574-7283.
