Leg at Risk after Two Vascular Procedures Saved by Boot Therapy

This lady had persistent foot pain after a femoral-popliteal bypass procedure. Her vascular surgeon then attempted to bring arterial flow to her midfoot. The distal incisions became infected and she returned to the operating room for an incision and drainaige procedure. She continued to have pain and swelling in her foot. The right second toe became discolored and part became black. Her cardiologist consulted Dr. Preske who recommended boot therapy. With boot therapy and local antibiotics, her foot, including an area of osteomyelitis, healed completely.
