Gangrene
Gangrene is a serious condition in which a part of the body begins to decay. This process is frequently described as tissue death or necrosis. Gangrene can occur in arm and legs with fingers and toes or some other organs of body like gallbladder — because of lack of blood flow or severe bacterial infection. Gangrene can develop when the supply of blood to an area of your body is interrupted. This can occur as the result of an injury, an infection, or an underlying condition that affects your circulation.

Treatment Options for Gangrene
Bypass Surgery Treatment
1. Vein or Graft Selection
A healthy vein (usually from your leg) or a synthetic graft is used to create a new path for blood flow.
2. Creating the Bypass
The graft is connected above and below the blocked artery—this allows blood to bypass the diseased segment and reach the foot or lower leg.
3. Duration
Surgery takes 2–4 hours.
