If this vascular occlusion affects a small section, results can be obtained with procedures such as balloon or stent. If it affects a long area, such as the area from the groin to the knee, vascular occlusion can be intervened with by-pass surgery. It is important to intervene in the loss and damage to the leg due to vascular occlusion. During by-pass surgery, depending on the doctor&#8217;s preference, the patient is usually awake and local anesthesia is preferred. The patient who is awake during the operation can be informed about the procedures performed.<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Types<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Atherosclerotic peripheral arterial disease, embolic occlusion, thrombotic occlusion<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Causes<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Atherosclerosis (arteriosclerosis), clot formation, inflammation or trauma to the artery walls<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Risk Factors<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smoking, diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, advanced age, obesity<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symptoms<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pain in the legs when walking (claudication), coldness, discoloration, non-healing wounds on the feet<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diagnostic Methods<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ankle arm index (ABI), Doppler ultrasound, CT angiography, MR angiography, conventional angiography<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treatment Options<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lifestyle change, antiplatelet drugs, stenting in single vessel, short segment and single small stenosis, bypass surgery in diffuse stenosis<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Complications<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tissue death (gangrene), amputation, infection, loss of function, chronic pain<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Protective Measures<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smoking cessation, regular exercise, blood sugar and blood pressure control, healthy nutrition<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\t<section class=\"section\" id=\"section_481362133\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-898274256\">\r\n\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1142296306\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\" style=\"background-color:#02288a;\" >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-1908889912\">\r\n\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-70629269\" class=\"col medium-4 small-12 large-4\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover border-gorsel x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1877928731\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/dryavuzbesogul.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/yavuz-besogul-banner.jpg\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dryavuzbesogul.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/yavuz-besogul-banner.jpg 700w, https:\/\/dryavuzbesogul.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/yavuz-besogul-banner-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/dryavuzbesogul.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/yavuz-besogul-banner-280x280.jpg 280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1877928731 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-70629269 > .col-inner {\n  border-radius: 20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-38294419\" class=\"col medium-8 small-12 large-8\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner dark\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 150%;\">Prof. Dr. Yavuz Be\u015fo\u011ful<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>>Turkey\u2019s Cardiovascular Surgery Doctor<\/p>\r\n<div>\r\n<div>Professor Doctor Yavuz Be\u015fo\u011ful is one of the first doctors to perform heart surgeries with minimally invasive methods in cardiovascular surgery since 1997.

The heart is the main pump of this system and the arteries are the main pipes that deliver clean blood full of oxygen and nutrients &#8211; the water of life &#8211; to the most remote parts of the body. Leg arteriosclerosis is a condition in which rust, dirt and limescale build up over time in the main pipes of this system leading to the legs. In medical language, we call this build-up &#8220;plaque&#8221; and the process itself &#8220;atherosclerosis&#8221; or &#8220;arteriosclerosis&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As these plaques build up on the inner walls of the arteries, they narrow the space for blood to flow. Just as less water flows through a water pipe that calcifies over time, less blood reaches the leg muscles through a narrowed artery. Especially when we walk, climb stairs or run, our muscles need more energy and demand more blood. However, narrowed arteries cannot meet this increased demand. It is at this point that the symptoms of leg vascular diseases begin to appear, that is, when the supply cannot meet the demand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most important point to remember is this: This &#8220;rusting&#8221; process that clogs the pipes in the legs is most likely to be gradually continuing in other pipelines of the body, such as the coronary arteries supplying the heart or the carotid arteries supplying the brain. This is why leg vascular occlusion is not just a matter of leg pain, but an alarm bell for the whole body.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What Causes This Silent Danger in Our Veins, Leg Vascular Occlusion?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What causes leg vascular occlusion? The answer to this question is hidden in one word: Atherosclerosis. In other words, hardening of the arteries. This is a very slow and insidious process that usually begins in middle age and beyond, but actually starts in youth and even in childhood. The inner surface of a healthy artery is smooth and slippery, like a Teflon pan. This allows blood cells to flow freely without sticking to this surface. However, some bad habits and health problems can cause tiny scratches and damage to this delicate inner surface over time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0025775323003615\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The prime suspects for this damage are the toxins in cigarette smoke, the constant pressure on the vessel wall from uncontrolled high blood pressure and high blood sugar levels.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Our body recognizes this damage as a wound and immediately sends in a repair team. However, this well-intentioned repair process can get out of control due to excess &#8220;bad&#8221; cholesterol (LDL) and other fatty substances circulating in the blood. Cholesterol, calcium and other cellular waste adhering to the damaged area solidifies over time to form deposits called &#8220;plaque&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While these plaques are soft at first, they harden and grow over time, narrowing the blood flow path inside the vessel like a hillock. Symptoms of leg arteriosclerosis begin when this narrowing reaches a critical level. The process usually proceeds in two ways. Either the plaque grows slowly, narrowing the blood vessel more and more over the years and causing chronic symptoms, or a much more dangerous scenario occurs. Sometimes the surface of the plaque can suddenly crack like a volcano. The body again recognizes this crack as bleeding and activates the clotting mechanism. A blood clot (thrombus) rapidly forms in the area and this clot can suddenly and completely block the already narrow vessel, cutting off the blood flow completely. This can lead to sudden cooling of the leg, severe pain and, without immediate intervention, a very serious condition that can lead to tissue death (gangrene). The main steps in the development of atherosclerosis:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Damage to the inner surface of the vessel<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fat and cholesterol accumulation in the damaged area<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Formation and growth of a structure called plaque<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Narrowing of the passageway within the vessel (stenosis)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The plaque becomes unstable and ruptures suddenly<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Formation of a blood clot on the tear (thrombus)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sudden and complete blockage of a blood vessel by a clot.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Which Early Symptoms of Leg Vascular Occlusion Reduces Quality of Life?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leg vascular occlusion usually first becomes apparent when you are on the move. The most typical and common early symptom is intermittent claudication, popularly known as &#8220;window disease&#8221;. The reason it is called window disease is that people with this pain often feel the need to rest and pretend to look at shop windows in order not to show it to others. This is pain, cramping, tightness or fatigue in the leg muscles, especially in the calves, after walking a certain distance or exerting effort, such as stairs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most important feature of this pain is that it disappears completely within a few minutes when you rest. When you start walking, it reappears at the same distance. The reason for this is that the narrowed blood vessels cannot meet the increased oxygen demand of the muscles in motion. The muscles scream &#8220;I&#8217;m out of oxygen, help!&#8221; and we feel this signal as pain. When we rest, the oxygen demand of the muscles returns to normal and the pain goes away. This pain is definitely not a natural consequence of aging or a simple muscle pain. A healthy individual is not expected to have leg pain that recurs regularly with walking, depending on age.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The area where the pain is felt can also provide valuable information about the location of the blockage. For example, if the pain is most often felt in the calf, the problem is usually in the femoral or popliteal arteries. If the pain is in the buttocks, buttocks or thighs, this indicates that there may be signs of blockage in the veins further up, even in the groin, or a narrowing of the main veins in the abdomen (iliac arteries). Sometimes the symptoms of vascular occlusion in the left groin may be different or more pronounced than on the right side, because the disease does not always affect both legs symmetrically. These are the main features of classic walking pain:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Occurs only during exertion (walking, running)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Completely passes in 1-2 minutes with rest<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">May feel more like cramping, tightness or fatigue than pain<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most common in the calf muscles<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can also be in the thigh or buttock muscles<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It usually starts after a similar walking distance each time.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>What Serious Warnings Does Advanced Leg Vascular Occlusion Cause?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the early symptoms are not taken seriously and the underlying atherosclerotic process continues, leg vein occlusion can progress to a more serious and dangerous stage. At this stage, problems begin to occur not only during movement but also at rest. This is a sign that blood flow is so reduced that the muscles and tissues are unable to meet even their minimal oxygen needs at rest. This condition is called &#8220;Critical Limb Ischemia&#8221; and is an emergency with the risk of limb loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most important symptom of this stage is &#8220;rest pain&#8221;. This is a constant, severe and burning pain, usually in the feet and toes, that occurs especially at night when you lie in bed. Patients often describe this pain as &#8220;my feet are on fire&#8221; or &#8220;like pins and needles&#8221;. The pain is so severe that it can wake you up from sleep. Many people instinctively feel the need to dangle their legs off the bed to relieve the pain. This is because gravity helps to get a little more blood to the feet, providing temporary relief. The presence of pain at rest is the clearest sign that leg vein occlusion is no longer just a problem that impairs quality of life, but a danger that threatens the future of the limb.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another very important and dangerous symptom of advanced disease is non-healing wounds, which are one of the symptoms of foot and leg vascular occlusion. Normally, a simple injury such as a small scratch, a knock from a shoe or an ingrown toenail heals in a few days, whereas this is not possible in a leg with severely impaired blood circulation. For the wound to heal, the blood needs to carry plenty of oxygen, nutrients and immune cells to fight infection. Due to poor blood flow, this &#8220;support team&#8221; cannot reach the wound site. As a result, even the simplest wound can remain open for months, easily become infected and develop into open wounds called &#8220;arterial ulcers&#8221;, which are often very painful and difficult to treat. These wounds usually occur in areas that are subjected to pressure, such as the toes, heel or sides of the feet. The alarming symptoms of advanced disease are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Foot pain that occurs at night and wakes you up from sleep<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Persistent numbness or numbness in the feet and fingers<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even simple wounds, such as a shoe stub, do not heal for weeks<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spontaneous painful wounds (ulcers) on the foot or leg<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blackening or discoloration of the toes or heel (onset of gangrene)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sudden onset of very severe pain in the leg and inability to move the leg.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>What Modifiable Habits Increase the Risk of Leg Vascular Occlusion?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leg vascular occlusion is not fate. Many of the factors that play a role in its occurrence and progression are directly related to our lifestyle choices and habits. This is also good news. Because by controlling these risks, we can prevent the disease, slow its progression and even reverse it. This means that we are in control.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The number one enemy of blood vessels is smoking and tobacco products. If we had to pick a single culprit for leg vein blockage, it would definitely be smoking. The thousands of toxic chemicals in cigarettes directly attack and damage the smooth inner surface of blood vessels, increasing the risk of blood clots, lowering &#8220;good&#8221; cholesterol and making it easier for &#8220;bad&#8221; cholesterol to stick to the vessel wall. The risk of developing leg vascular occlusion in a smoker is many times higher than in a non-smoker, and the disease progresses much faster.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second major culprit is uncontrolled diabetes. High blood sugar levels &#8220;sugar-coat&#8221; the blood vessels from the inside, destroying their structure and accelerating the process of atherosclerosis enormously. In patients with diabetes, problems affecting small vessels, such as symptoms of capillary blockage, especially in the legs, are also common. In addition, the sensation of pain in the foot may be reduced due to damage to nerve endings (neuropathy) caused by diabetes. This prevents the patient from recognizing a wound on their foot, setting the stage for very dangerous infections and non-healing wounds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High blood pressure (hypertension) and high cholesterol are important parts of this dangerous equation. High blood pressure is like a constant hammering on the walls of blood vessels, fatiguing them and making them vulnerable to damage. High cholesterol is the main ingredient in the mortar used to plaster these damaged walls, which over time clogs the arteries. Overweight and obesity, caused by a sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy diet, is a condition that combines or triggers all of these risk factors.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Which Factors We Cannot Change Set the Stage for Leg Vascular Occlusion?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While our lifestyle choices can have a huge impact on our vascular health, unfortunately there are some risk factors that we cannot control. We cannot change these factors, but being aware of them helps us understand why we need to be even more careful and rigorous about the factors we can change.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most important of these is advancing age. Time causes some wear and tear in our arteries, as it does in every organ. As we age, our arteries lose some of their natural flexibility and become more prone to plaque build-up. The risk of leg vascular occlusion usually starts to become apparent after the age of 50, and the incidence increases considerably in the 70s.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another important factor is our genetic heritage, i.e. family history. If a first-degree relative (mother, father or siblings) has a history of early leg artery blockage, heart attack or stroke, you may have a higher than average risk of developing these diseases. This could mean that your vasculature or the way your body processes cholesterol is genetically predisposed to this condition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Male gender is also considered a risk factor, as leg vein occlusion tends to occur earlier in men than in women. However, in the post-menopausal period, with the decrease in the protective hormone estrogen, the risk increases rapidly in women and becomes equal to that of men. In addition, some systemic conditions such as chronic kidney disease also accelerate the process of atherosclerosis and pose a significant risk for leg arteriosclerosis.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How to recognize leg vein occlusion when you go to the doctor?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may be worried about how to recognize a blocked blood vessel in the foot or how to find out if this is the problem with your legs. The diagnostic process is actually quite simple and usually involves nothing to be afraid of. It starts with listening to your story. As a physician, the most valuable information for us is what you tell us. Details such as when your complaints started, what triggers them, what reduces them, exactly where and how the pain feels are the first and most important steps on the way to diagnosis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is followed by a simple physical examination. One of the most important parts of this examination is to check the pulses in your legs and feet. We check the arterial pulses at certain points, such as the back of the foot, the inside of the ankle and the back of the knee. The pulses beyond a blocked artery are either very weak or absent. This is a very strong physical sign of a blockage. The legs are also carefully examined for color, temperature, skin condition and possible wounds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After these initial assessments, a very simple, painless and quick test called the &#8220;Ankle-Belly Index&#8221; (ABI) is usually performed to confirm the diagnosis. This test uses a sphygmomanometer and a small ultrasound device (Doppler) to measure and compare the blood pressure in your arm with the blood pressure in your ankle. In a healthy person, the ankle pressure is expected to be equal to or slightly higher than the arm pressure (a ratio of 1.0 or higher). If there is a narrowing of the blood vessels, the pressure in the ankle drops and the ratio falls below 0.9. The lower the ratio, the more serious the obstruction. In most cases, the patient&#8217;s history, physical examination and ABI test are sufficient for diagnosis. If a more detailed examination or intervention is planned, then advanced imaging methods such as Color Doppler Ultrasonography or Angiography may be used to map the vessels.

Nowadays, minimally invasive procedures are performed even at the ankle level. Lesions causing obstruction within the vessel, vessels with multiple stenoses or severe stenoses with long segments are conditions that require surgical treatment. Bypass surgery is the use of a vein or synthetic vessel (known as a graft) taken from your body to provide blood flow through a side path from before to after the blocked area. An endarterectomy is the removal of the plaque layer that causes the blockage in the artery leading to the arms or legs.<\/span><br \/>\n<h2 class=\"accordion_title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"
