Peripheral
Arterial Disease
Peripheral Arterial Disease?
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) occurs when the arteries that supply blood to the legs and feet become narrowed or blocked due to plaque buildup. This reduces circulation, causing leg pain, cramping, fatigue, and, in advanced cases, non-healing wounds.
How We Diagnose PAD?
Our team uses a combination of clinical evaluation and advanced imaging to accurately identify blockages and measure blood flow.
Ankle-Brachial Index
A simple, painless test comparing blood pressure in the ankle and arm.
Duplex Ultrasound
Shows blood flow and identifies narrowed or blocked arteries.
CT or MR Angiography
Provides detailed 3D images of arteries from the abdomen to the feet.
Diagnostic Angiogram
A minimally invasive test using contrast to precisely map arterial disease — and often allows treatment during the same session.
Minimally Invasive
Treatment Options
Interventional radiology offers effective, non-surgical treatments to restore blood flow and relieve symptoms.
Angioplasty
Interventional radiology offers effective, non-surgical treatments to restore blood flow and relieve symptoms.
Stent Placement
A small metal mesh tube is placed inside the artery to keep it open long-term.
Atherectomy
A specialized tool is used to shave or remove plaque from the artery walls.
Thrombolysis/Thrombectomy
Used when a blood clot suddenly blocks an artery, restoring circulation quickly.
