Peripheral Arterial Disease
Learn more about peripheral arterial disease (PAD), including risks, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and safety.
Are You At Risk for PAD?
As many as 12 million Americans have Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) and 50% of people with PAD do not experience symptoms! PAD is a condition in which the arteries that carry blood to the legs and feet become blocked from the build up of plaque. If you have PAD, you are at greater risk of having a heart attack or stroke.
Treatment for PAD
Patients can be assured that they will get the best treatment for their particular need. We form long term relationships with our patients built on trust and open communication of all their options for vascular care. Some patients need one procedure, some need multiple and others need no surgery at all. Because of our extensive training, we offer multiple options to treat vascular disease:
- Bypass surgery
- Endovascular or ‘minimally invasive’ procedures:
- Angioplasty
- Stent
- Atherectomy
- Medical management and surveillance alongside your primary care physician
