When it comes to vascular disease, Vascular Surgeon Dr. Gulrez Mahmood says it can significantly impact a patient's quality of life, becoming life-threatening in some cases if left untreated. According to Dr. Mahmood, many patients delay care until vascular disease has become severe. By identifying problems early and providing advanced interventions, doctors can help save limbs, prevent amputations and treat conditions ranging from leg ulcers and chronic pain to arterial blockages and aneurysms.
To support early detection and treatment, CHRISTUS Health utilizes advanced diagnostic technologies and offers both minimally invasive endovascular procedures and traditional open surgical therapies, ensuring patients have access to the full spectrum of vascular care based on their individual needs.
