Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)

Diagnosis and minimally invasive, catheter-based treatment for blocked arteries in the legs.

What it is

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a narrowing of the arteries that carry blood to your legs, usually caused by atherosclerosis (plaque buildup). It can lead to leg pain or cramping when walking (claudication), non-healing wounds, and — if left untreated — serious complications.

Why it's done

Restoring blood flow relieves leg pain, improves your ability to walk, helps wounds heal, and lowers the risk of limb loss. We evaluate PAD with a pulse exam, ankle-brachial index (ABI) testing, and ultrasound.

What to expect

Many blockages can be opened through a small puncture using minimally invasive, catheter-based techniques — balloon angioplasty, stenting, or atherectomy — often with same-day discharge. We also guide medication and lifestyle changes to keep your arteries healthy.
