Arterial occlusion is generally a condition in which the arteries carrying blood to the arms and legs are blocked and blood flow is reduced or absent. It occurs with arteriosclerosis or calcification. Atherectomy is performed in cases of artery occlusion.

Orbital atherectomy operation is a procedure performed like angiography. Local anesthesia is preferred for this procedure and takes 30 to 60 minutes.

The main causes of vascular occlusion include smoking, hypercholesterolemia, age, hypertension, diabetes and sedentary lifestyle. It occurs when plaques containing cholesterol accumulate on the walls of the vessels.

Symptoms that occur when blood flow to the legs decreases or stops are numbness, tingling and weakness in the legs. In later stages, symptoms such as coldness in the legs, pale color, wound formation or delayed wound healing begin. Untreated vascular occlusions cause more severe symptoms in the future. For this reason, surgical intervention is required to open blocked vessels. Intervention is recommended for individuals with symptoms and a blocked vessel detected in clinical examinations.

Orbital Atherectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed to remove plaques caused by cholesterol deposits in the blood vessels of the body. This procedure, which is performed under local anesthesia like angioplasty, takes between 30 minutes and 60 minutes.

Individuals stay in the hospital for 1 night after the procedure. It is important for patients to stay away from activities that will tire them out for a day or two. They can continue their daily lives after the first day or two. There is no need for dressing after this procedure. Simple painkillers can be used for pain that may occur after the procedure.

• Correct use of prescribed medicines
• Avoiding heavy lifting for 15 days
• Staying away from smoking and alcohol
• Balanced diet should be adopted
• An active lifestyle should be adopted

Vascular blockages occur due to cholesterol structures accumulated in the vessels. The main reasons for this accumulation are smoking, unhealthy diet, chronic diseases and sedentary life. If the legs are not nourished due to vascular occlusion, symptoms such as pain, tingling, numbness, pale color and coldness occur in the legs. In the future, wounds may occur on the legs or delayed healing of the wounds may be observed. In these cases, surgical intervention is required. With orbital atherectomy, the blocked vessels are opened and the legs are nourished again. In this way, individuals’ symptoms are treated and serious symptoms that may occur in the future are prevented.
