Problem analysis:Hello! The treatment of thromboangiitis obliterans is mainly divided into drug treatment and surgical treatment. In terms of drug treatment, it is mainly to use some drugs to improve the circulation, expand the circulation and expand the blood vessels. If necessary, it is necessary to use anticoagulants or antiplatelet aggregation for treatment. Surgical treatment is divided into traditional vascular bypass grafting and minimally invasive endovascular treatment techniques. If ulcer infection and gangrene cannot be controlled, amputation or toe amputation is also required. Your grandma’s situation should be carefully considered whether to have surgery.
Guide suggestion: Rest mainly at ordinary times, raise the affected limb to avoid various infections. Once the infection is combined, it is also necessary to apply anti-infective drugs for treatment.
