Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)

Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is a common circulatory condition in which narrowed or blocked arteries — caused by plaque build up (atherosclerosis) over the time, reduce blood flow to the legs. This can cause leg pain while walking (claudication) and, in severe cases, lead to ulcers, infections or even limb loss.

The goal of peripheral artery disease (PAD) treatment is to relieve symptoms, improve circulation, and slow the progression of the condition. In many cases, lifestyle modifications — such as quitting smoking, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy diet, and taking medications to manage cholesterol or blood pressure — are the first line of care. However, if these measures are not sufficient, several minimally invasive treatment options are available to help restore blood flow and improve quality of life.
