Critical limb ischemia is the end stage of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). With early detection and intervention of PAD, RUSH providers can prevent critical limb ischemia and major amputation for patients. RUSH is one of the only academic medical centers in Chicago and the Midwest to perform complex revascularization to restore blood flow and salvage limbs.
Kumar Madassery, MD, is the director of the Peripheral Vascular Interventions and Critical Limb Ischemia Program in the RUSH University System for Health. He is also an associate professor of Vascular Interventional Radiology and is the director of the Advanced Vascular Interventional Radiology Fellowship at RUSH.
“One providers specialize in treating patients with peripheral arterial disease that has progressed where they need some type of surgical or endovascular intervention. Over the last 10 to 15 years, we’ve seen an exponential growth of revascularization strategies and techniques that have helped to save patients from amputation.”
