Hi,
The picture is not clearly visible and I was unable to view your picture(kindly do that again). A good option for vascular surgery option is max hospital,saket branch(that is out of what I have heard,and that can be variable because being best or god is just a word of mouth at times)
Other hospitals where vascular surgery options are available are sir ganga ram hospital,apollo hospital,medanta hospital, these are all private hospitals and in goverment aiims and safdarjung are hospitals in which vascular surgery department is available.
There are not many treatment options available for gangrene. No tablet or some kind of such treatment is available.
Feel free to ask further question
