Vascular Bypass

Introduction

Vascular bypass surgery is a procedure used to create a new route for blood flow around a blocked artery in the legs. This surgery is often necessary for diabetic patients with severe peripheral artery disease (PAD) to prevent limb-threatening complications. At Surat Diabetic Foot Care, we provide advanced vascular bypass surgeries to restore adequate blood flow, alleviate symptoms, and prevent amputations.
