An Accurate Diagnosis Ensures Optimal Care

Because chronic wounds are often related to – or caused by – poor blood flow, vascular testing is frequently necessary to determine where and why the blood supply is being impaired. Our team offers a wide array of noninvasive and minimally invasive tests to assess the arteries and veins and accurately diagnose blood vessel disorders. Tests may include:

  • Physiologic or non-imaging studies such as exercise stress tests
  • Specialized ultrasound imaging exams
  • Peripheral angiograms to check for blockages in the arteries that supply blood to your legs/feet or arms/hands

Doctors may also take a sample of tissue from the wound to look at under a microscope. This is called a biopsy and may be able to determine why a wound is not healing.

These and other diagnostic tests provide important information to help your doctor determine the best, most effective course of treatment for your hard-to-heal wound.

Limb Salvage and Amputation Prevention Program

When chronic wounds are associated with vascular insufficiency and are resistant to other treatment options, some doctors may recommend amputation. We encourage anyone receiving this recommendation to get a second opinion from the experts at the University Hospitals Limb Salvage and Amputation Prevention Program. We have a proven track record for saving limbs using advanced, innovative revascularization techniques – even when all other treatment options have failed.
