Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is a common circulatory condition in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the limbs, most commonly affecting the legs. This occurs when fatty deposits (atherosclerosis) build up in the artery walls, restricting oxygen-rich blood from reaching the muscles and tissues. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent progression and reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and limb loss.

Peripheral Artery Disease Treatment

What is Peripheral Artery Disease?

Peripheral Artery Disease develops when plaque builds up in the arteries that carry blood to your legs, arms, and other extremities. This narrowing restricts blood flow, leading to pain, cramping, and fatigue in the affected limbs. If left untreated, PAD can progress to critical limb ischemia, resulting in non-healing wounds, gangrene, and potential amputation.

At Nandan Vascular Center, we offer comprehensive PAD evaluation and advanced interventional treatments including angioplasty, stenting, and surgical bypass. Our goal is to restore blood flow, relieve symptoms, prevent disease progression, and improve quality of life through personalized, evidence-based care.

Treatment Highlights
  • Comprehensive Vascular Assessment
  • Advanced Angioplasty & Stenting
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures
  • Limb Salvage Techniques
  • Personalized Risk Reduction Plans

Symptoms

PAD symptoms can range from mild discomfort to severe pain and disability. Many patients may not experience symptoms initially, making regular vascular screening essential for early detection.

  • Claudication – muscle pain or cramping in the legs or buttocks during walking or exercise that subsides with rest.
  • Leg numbness or weakness – reduced sensation or strength in the lower extremities.
  • Coldness in the lower leg or foot – one leg may feel colder than the other.
  • Non-healing sores or ulcers on the feet, toes, or legs that do not heal within weeks.
  • Skin color changes – pale, bluish, or shiny skin over the affected area.
  • Hair loss or slower hair growth on the legs and feet.
  • Weak or absent pulse in the feet or legs.

Causes & Risk Factors

PAD is primarily caused by atherosclerosis, but several risk factors increase the likelihood of developing the condition. Understanding and managing these factors is crucial for prevention and treatment.

  • Atherosclerosis – buildup of plaque inside the artery walls, narrowing and hardening the arteries.
  • Diabetes mellitus – significantly increases the risk of PAD and accelerates disease progression.
  • Smoking – a leading cause of PAD, damaging blood vessels and increasing plaque formation.
  • High blood pressure (Hypertension) – damages arterial walls and accelerates atherosclerosis.
  • High cholesterol (Hyperlipidemia) – contributes to plaque buildup in the arteries.
  • Obesity and sedentary lifestyle – increases strain on the cardiovascular system.
  • Age over 60 – natural aging process increases risk, especially with other risk factors.

Diagnosis

At Nandan Vascular Center, we use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to accurately evaluate PAD severity and plan appropriate treatment: Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) – a simple, non-invasive test comparing blood pressure in the ankle and arm, Color Doppler Ultrasound – imaging to visualize blood flow and identify blockages, CT Angiography or MR Angiography – detailed imaging to map the arterial system, Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) – the gold standard for precise localization of blockages before intervention.

Treatment Options

PAD treatment focuses on improving blood flow, relieving symptoms, reducing cardiovascular risk, and preventing limb loss. We offer a full spectrum of treatments tailored to each patient's condition.

01. Lifestyle Modifications & Medical Management

Smoking cessation, supervised exercise programs, dietary changes, and medications to control blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes are the foundation of PAD management.

02. Angioplasty & Stenting

A minimally invasive procedure where a small balloon is inserted into the blocked artery and inflated to widen it, followed by placement of a stent to keep the artery open and restore blood flow.

03. Atherectomy

A catheter-based procedure that removes plaque deposits from the artery wall, effectively clearing the blockage and restoring circulation to the affected limb.

04. Surgical Bypass

For advanced PAD, a surgical bypass uses a healthy vein or synthetic graft to create a new pathway around the blocked artery, restoring blood flow to the leg and foot.

05. Limb Salvage & Wound Care

For patients with critical limb ischemia, combined revascularization and advanced wound care are essential to heal ulcers, prevent infection, and avoid amputation.
