Non-Healing Wounds explained
Non-healing wounds on the legs and feet are almost always caused by poor circulation, and addressing the underlying vascular problem is essential for healing to occur. In Houston, diabetic patients, those with peripheral arterial disease, and patients with chronic venous insufficiency are at highest risk. Dr. Anwer, a Stanford Fellowship trained interventional radiologist, uses image-guided angioplasty to restore blood flow to the wound site, giving the body the circulation it needs to heal tissue that it currently cannot reach. Treating the vascular cause is the most important step in wound care.
Recovery from angioplasty is one to two days. Wound healing progresses as circulation is restored.
El enfoque del Dr. Anwer
Dr. Anwer performs angioplasty using X-ray guidance to open the narrowed arteries supplying the wound area. A thin catheter is inserted through a pinhole in the wrist or groin. Restoring blood flow allows the wound to begin healing. The procedure takes 60 to 90 minutes, no general anesthesia.

Panorama del tratamiento
¿Es este el tratamiento adecuado para usted?
Every patient is different. These four areas will help you understand whether Non-Healing Wounds treatment at LPVI is the right fit.
¿Quién califica?
¿Soy un buen candidato?
Vascular treatment for non-healing wounds is most suitable for patients whose wound care has not produced healing progress within four to six weeks, particularly those with diabetes, peripheral arterial disease, or chronic venous insufficiency. Candidates typically have arterial or venous insufficiency confirmed on imaging. Dr. Anwer reviews your vascular imaging personally at your first consultation and will assess whether restoring blood flow through angioplasty is appropriate for your wound and overall vascular status.
Síntomas comunes
Síntomas que tratamos
Non-healing wounds typically present as open sores or ulcers on the lower leg or foot that fail to show measurable improvement after four to six weeks of standard wound care. The wound edges may appear pale, grey, or necrotic, and the surrounding skin is often cool to the touch, discolored, shiny, or lacking normal hair growth, all signs of poor circulation. Patients with diabetes may notice the wound is painless despite its severity due to neuropathy. Any wound on the lower leg or foot that is not progressing toward closure warrants an urgent vascular assessment with Dr. Anwer in Houston.
Qué esperar
El procedimiento
Dr. Anwer performs peripheral angioplasty for non-healing wounds as an outpatient procedure using real-time X-ray imaging. A thin catheter is inserted through a pinhole in the wrist or groin and guided to the narrowed arteries supplying the wound area. A balloon catheter opens the narrowed vessel and restores blood flow. A stent may be placed in the same session if needed. The procedure takes 60 to 90 minutes. There are no surgical incisions, no general anesthesia, and no overnight hospital stay for most patients.
Después del tratamiento
Recuperación y resultados
Recovery from vascular treatment for non-healing wounds at LPVI is quick for most patients. Most are discharged the same day or the morning after angioplasty and return to light activity within one to two days. The wound itself does not close immediately after restoring circulation. Healing progresses gradually over weeks as the improved blood flow allows the body to repair the affected tissue. Dr. Anwer will arrange follow-up imaging to confirm blood flow and coordinate with your wound care team to monitor healing progress.

How Dr. Anwer treats non-healing wounds
Dr. Anwer performs angioplasty using X-ray guidance to open the narrowed arteries supplying the wound area. A thin catheter is inserted through a pinhole in the wrist or groin. Restoring blood flow allows the wound to begin healing. The procedure takes 60 to 90 minutes, no general anesthesia.
Urgent consultation with Dr. Anwer, vascular imaging review
Arterial blockage confirmed, angioplasty plan agreed
Angioplastia ambulatoria, 60 a 90 minutos, anestesia local
Discharge same or next day, wound healing monitored over weeks
¿Por qué elegir este enfoque?
Tratamiento mínimamente invasivo vs. convencional
Enfoque convencional
Non-healing wounds caused by vascular disease have traditionally been managed with wound dressings and debridement alone, which cannot succeed without adequate blood flow, or with major bypass surgery under general anesthesia.
- Cirugía mayor o procedimiento invasivo
- Se requiere anestesia general
- Estancia hospitalaria de 1 a 5 días
- Recuperación de 4 a 12 semanas
El enfoque del Dr. Anwer en LPVI
Dr. Anwer restores blood flow to the wound site through a pinhole in the wrist or groin under X-ray guidance. No general anesthesia, no bypass surgery. Improved circulation gives the wound the best possible chance of healing without amputation.
- Ambulatorio, sin hospitalización
- Sedación ligera o anestesia local
- Incisión de ojo de alfiler, sin puntos
- Recuperación el mismo día o al día siguiente
A wound that will not heal is almost always telling you something about circulation. Treating the surface without addressing blood flow rarely works. Restoring circulation is the most important step, and we can usually do it through a pinhole in the wrist.

Preguntas Frecuentes
Common questions about Non-Healing Wounds
Yes. Angioplasty for non-healing wounds caused by vascular disease is covered by Medicare and most major insurance plans in Houston when arterial insufficiency has been confirmed on imaging. Our team at LPVI will verify your specific coverage and confirm prior authorization requirements before your consultation. Call us at 713-242-1139 and we will check your benefits and answer any questions about wound treatment costs in Houston.
Wound healing after angioplasty is gradual. Most patients notice early signs of healing progress within two to four weeks as blood flow to the wound area improves. Full wound closure depends on the size, depth, and duration of the wound, as well as overall health and blood sugar control in diabetic patients. Dr. Anwer coordinates with your wound care team and will arrange follow-up imaging to confirm blood flow has been restored and monitor your healing progress.
Wound dressings and debridement cannot heal a wound if there is insufficient blood flow to the affected tissue. Without adequate circulation, the body cannot deliver the oxygen, nutrients, and immune cells needed for tissue repair. A wound that is not progressing after four to six weeks of standard care almost always has an underlying vascular cause. A vascular assessment with Dr. Anwer in Houston can identify and treat the arterial or venous problem that is preventing healing.
Yes. Non-healing wounds caused by poor circulation are a leading cause of lower limb amputation, particularly in patients with diabetes and peripheral arterial disease. Without adequate blood flow, the wound cannot heal, infection risk increases, and tissue death progresses. Early vascular intervention at LPVI to restore circulation is the most effective way to prevent amputation and give the wound the best possible chance of healing. Time is critical with non-healing wounds.
Angioplasty opens the narrowed arteries supplying the wound area, restoring the blood flow that the body needs to heal damaged tissue. Without adequate circulation, wound dressings alone are rarely sufficient. By improving blood flow through a minimally invasive procedure, Dr. Anwer gives the wound the biological conditions it needs to begin closing. Most patients treated at LPVI in Houston notice measurable wound progress within two to four weeks of successful angioplasty.
Most patients notice early healing progress within two to four weeks of angioplasty as circulation to the wound area improves. The wound edges begin to show new tissue formation and the wound bed becomes healthier in color. Full closure depends on the wound size and the patient's overall health. Dr. Anwer will arrange follow-up imaging to confirm blood flow and work with your wound care team. The majority of patients at LPVI in Houston see meaningful healing progress within the first month.
