Ballooning of the artery. These aneurysms rarely rupture do cause abnormal flow and can flick off pieces of clot that damage the arteries further down the leg. This can result in wounds, gangrene and or amputation. They can also grow large enough to cause lower leg swelling and nerve compression symptoms.

Blockages (plaque) in the artery behind the knee. Blockage in this artery can cause calf pain and tightness or cramping with walking. Advanced disease can result in wounds or gangrene and amputation.

Blockages (plaque) in the arteries between the knee and the foot typically associated with diabetes and advanced age. Advanced blockage in these arteries can cause rest pain, wounds or gangrene and amputation.

The Patient Experienceere

Dr. Robbins looked at my imaging and made an appointment that same day for me to come in. At Vascular Tyler, it’s just like a family environment every time I come in here. If I have to go the doctor’s (office), this is where I want to go.

We don’t want to spend a whole lot of time with rehabilitation or in some sort of medical facility, so it was great discovering that there’s only little or no downtime. It was a matter of hours instead of days or weeks.

B. Finch Patient

I had excruciating pain and was told I needed a knee replacement. But Dr. Robbins said I just need vascular surgery. They gave me relief from my pain, and they’re kind and interested in you as a patient and a person. This is the place to come.
