Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to health care magic. I read and understand your concern. I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern. There are various treament options available for peripheral vascular disease. But each has its plus and minus points. Each method can be adopted after due considerstion of patients condition, its history and the condition of the leg. Ulcer in the leg due to peripheral vascular incompatibly is the worst stage where surgery can be considered as option. So in my opinion you doctor is right and surgery should be adopted. Peripheral vascular disease drugs like pentoxyfyline, cilastazol can be taken to improve peripheral vasculature circulation. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun. Thank you, Dr Arun Tank Infectious diseases specialist, HCM.
