Patient Testimonial - Left Aortoiliac Occlusive Disease With Left Diabetic Foot

About Ashok Jagtap's Treatment

Mr Ashok Jagtap had been dealing with recurring foot pain and non-healing wounds, a year after undergoing treatment for varicose veins at another hospital. As he is a diabetes patient, the risk of developing serious complications was high. Concerned about his condition worsening, his family brought him to Medicover Hospitals, Pune, where he consulted Dr Dhananjay Bansal, Consultant Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery (CTVS).

After a detailed vascular evaluation, Dr Bansal identified a serious circulation issue: Left Aortoiliac Occlusive Disease, which was contributing to a Diabetic Foot ulcer that was struggling to heal. With timely admission and expert vascular care, Mr Jagtap received the focused treatment needed to restore blood flow in his leg and support recovery of his diabetic foot condition.

In the Patient Words

"My father had varicose veins and was treated earlier, but his pain returned, and diabetes made the recovery difficult. We came to Medicover Hospitals and consulted Dr Dhananjay Bansal. He treated my father with great care and ensured proper management of his foot condition. The staff and management were very supportive throughout. We are thankful for the recovery he has achieved."

After successful revascularization, a specialized diabetic foot care protocol was initiated, including:

This multidisciplinary approach resulted in marked clinical improvement, preventing further complications and supporting healthy tissue recovery.
