Treating diabetic foot ulcers is a crucial step that must be taken promptly, as the condition can progress rapidly and become dangerous. Diabetic foot ulcers occur due to nerve damage and poor blood circulation in people with diabetes, causing even minor wounds to turn into serious infections. Without timely and appropriate treatment, these wounds can lead to widespread infection, gangrene, and even the risk of amputation. Early and targeted management is therefore essential to prevent further complications.
At Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri, Dr. Suci Indriani, Sp.JP (K), FIHA provides diabetic foot ulcer treatment through revascularization, a medical procedure that restores blood flow to the affected foot. Using advanced techniques and technology, Dr. Suci helps patients reduce the risk of severe infection, accelerate wound healing, and improve overall quality of life.

What Is Revascularization for Diabetic Foot Management?
Dr. Suci is a cardiologist specializing in interventional and vascular cardiology. Some may wonder why a heart and blood vessel specialist can treat varicose veins or diabetic foot issues. It is important to understand that Dr. Suci is an interventional and vascular cardiology consultant who focuses on a wide range of blood vessel disorders.
Conditions such as diabetic foot or Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) occur when plaque (atherosclerosis) builds up and narrows the arteries, reducing blood flow to the legs. As a result, wounds on the feet become difficult to heal and may progress into severe infections.
In patients with PAD, reduced blood flow to the legs may cause:
- Wounds that do not heal
- Pain or cramping when walking
- Pale or cold-feeling feet
- Higher risk of infection and potential amputation
To address these issues, revascularization is one of the most effective treatment options. This procedure aims to restore blood flow to areas blocked by PAD. For diabetic foot management, revascularization may involve several techniques, including:
- Angioplasty (balloon) to widen narrowed blood vessels
- Stent placement for more severe blockages
- Thrombectomy, or removal of blood clots
- Atherectomy, a procedure using a special device to remove plaque similar to a “drilling” method
With the right approach, revascularization helps optimize wound healing and reduce the risk of further complications.
