- Injection Therapy: Expect a brief injection during this therapy, which may cause minor discomfort but delivers targeted medication directly where it's needed.
- AnkleBrachial Index Test: If your doctor suspects reduced blood flow to your legs or feet, an ABI test can help confirm the diagnosis and determine the severity of peripheral artery disease (PAD).
- Pre-Operative Cardiovascular Examination: Before surgery, a cardiovascular examination helps determine if your heart is healthy enough for the operation.
