Ultrasound
This is a condition where the blood pools in the veins in the legs due to poor function of the valves within the veins. It can result in discomfort or pain, leg swelling, skin color changes, hardening of the skin or breakdown of the skin resulting in ulcers. It can occur in patients that have had a previous blood clot or DVT. Patients who are significantly obese are also at risk of developing this. It is diagnosed with a Doppler Ultrasound. Treatment includes compression stockings, moisturizers to treat/prevent dry and cracked skin, treatment of any varicose veins if present as outlined above, treatment of wounds as outlined in the wounds segment, vein bypass or venous valve repair are rarely performed. Angioplasty/stenting of occluded or narrowed pelvic (iliac) veins is also very occasionally needed.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
This is when a large blood vessel (Aorta) that supplies blood to the abdomen, pelvis and legs become abnormally large or balloons outward. Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm repair is indicated for patients who have large Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. That means that the Aneurysm is greater than 5 or 5.5 cm in diameter. Measurement can be performed by ultrasound or CT scan.

Wound Care
"My mother has been a patient of Dr. William Purtill for the past few years. She has been treated for a stubborn leg ulcer. His skill and knowledge of wound care is only surpassed by his kindness, empathy, patience and consideration for those under his care" - DB
Vascular Surgery
I am Board certified in Vascular Surgery and a Fellow of The American College of Surgeons (FACS). I am a member of The Society for Vascular Surgery, The Eastern Vascular Society, The Peripheral Vascular Surgery Society and The Society for Vascular Technology. I am also a Registered Physician in Vascular Interpretation (RPVI) and a Registered Vascular Technologist (RVT), which means I can perform and interpret non-invasive tests - Doppler studies.

Ulcer
"I am a 73 year old male with diabetes and I am on dialysis. Due to my poor circulation, I developed an ulcer on my right heel. My doctors were not able to heal the ulcer and it grew to a 6"x 4" to the bone wound. In October 2007, the doctors wanted to amputate my leg while telling me how good the prosthesis would be. A visiting nurse recommended I see Dr. Purtill. It was the best thing I could have done. Dr. Purtill explained his plan to heal the ulcer which included surgery on my leg. He was sincere and determined to heal the ulcer and gave me hope. Throughout my treatment he remained hopeful and concerned. In January 2009, the last of the ulcer healed. I need special shoes to protect my "new" heel, but thanks to Dr. Purtill, I still have my leg and can walk again. My wife and I are eternally grateful to him." - BC
