What are vascular complications?
- Aneurysms: Abnormal dilations in the arteries that can rupture and cause serious bleeding.
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Clots in deep veins, which can lead to pulmonary embolisms. - Venous Ulcers: Chronic wounds in the legs due to poor circulation.
Pulmonary Embolism: A blood clot that travels to the lungs, blocking blood flow and putting life at risk. - Chronic Ischemia: Severe reduction in blood flow to the extremities, which can lead to amputation if untreated.
How to identify vascular complications?
- Persistent Pain: If you feel constant or worsening pain in your legs or arms, it could be a sign of thrombosis or arterial insufficiency.
Swelling: Swelling, especially in a leg or arm, may indicate a venous blockage, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). - Skin Ulcers: Wounds that do not heal, especially on the legs, are signs of chronic venous insufficiency or advanced arterial disease.
