What Is Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)?

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) impacts the blood flow to the legs and arms due to narrowed or blocked arteries. PAD can cause pain, numbness, ulcers, and an increased risk of infection in the affected limbs. 

If you are experiencing symptoms of PAD, such as leg pain when walking, coldness or color changes in your feet, or slow-healing wounds on your legs or feet, you should seek medical attention immediately. At our practices, we provide prompt diagnosis and treatment for peripheral arterial disease to reduce the risk of future complications. 

Treatments For Peripheral Arterial Disease

After evaluating the severity of your condition, our specialist will form a treatment plan that improves your blood circulation and overall health. We may recommend certain medications and lifestyle changes as a conservative form of treatment. However, if your condition is severe, we may include other options, such as:

• Angioplasty and stenting: This technique involves inserting a thin catheter into the affected artery and inflating a small balloon to widen it. We may place a stent inside the artery to keep it open. This procedure improves blood flow and reduces pain.
• Bypass surgery: This surgical procedure involves creating a new route for blood to flow around the obstructed artery using a graft from another part of your body or a synthetic material.
• Endarterectomy: It involves removing the plaque from the inner lining of the artery. This procedure can clear the blockage and improve blood flow.
