Necrosis of artery - what does this mean

Necrosis of artery is a condition in which the cells of the artery wall become damaged and die due to a lack of oxygen. this can be caused by a variety of factors, including atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, trauma, infection, or an embolism. as the cells die, the artery wall weakens and can eventually rupture, leading to further complications.

What happens during the disease - necrosis of artery

Necrosis of an artery is a condition in which the inner lining of an artery wall becomes damaged and dies, which can lead to a blockage of the artery and decreased blood flow. this can be caused by a variety of factors, such as a buildup of plaque in the artery walls, trauma to the artery, or an infection. this damage to the artery can cause inflammation, which can lead to a further decrease in blood flow, and eventually necrosis of the artery wall.

How does a doctor diagnose

  • Obtain a medical history from the patient.
  • Conduct a physical examination.
  • Order laboratory tests, such as a complete blood count, lipid profile, and C-reactive protein.

  • Perform an angiogram.
  • Perform an arteriogram.
  • Perform a biopsy.
  • Order a Duplex ultrasound.

Treatment and Medical Assistance

Main goal of the treatment: To reduce the risk of necrosis of artery.
  • Identify and treat any underlying medical conditions that cause or contribute to necrosis of artery.
  • Prescribe medications to reduce inflammation and improve blood flow.
  • Administer oxygen therapy to improve blood flow and oxygen levels.
  • Perform surgical procedures to remove necrotic tissue and repair damaged blood vessels.
  • Prescribe lifestyle changes, such as quitting smoking, exercising regularly, and eating a healthy diet.
  • Administer medications to reduce cholesterol levels and prevent further damage to the arteries.
  • Administer anticoagulants to reduce the risk of blood clots.
  • Perform angioplasty or stenting to open blocked or narrowed arteries.
  • Administer thrombolytic medications to dissolve blood clots.
