Managing Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD): Specialized Care for Arterial Health
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) requires comprehensive management to alleviate symptoms and reduce the risk of complications. At Pinnacle Vein & Vascular Center, our expert team of vascular specialists specializes in diagnosing and treating PAD, offering personalized treatments to improve arterial health and enhance quality of life.
Understanding Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)
PAD occurs when plaque buildup narrows or blocks the arteries, reducing blood flow to the limbs. This condition can lead to symptoms such as leg pain, cramping, and difficulty walking. Recognizing the signs and risk factors associated with PAD is crucial for early intervention and effective management.
Recognizing Symptoms
Symptoms of PAD may include:
Leg pain or cramping, particularly during activity (intermittent claudication)
Numbness or weakness in the legs
Coldness or discoloration of the skin in the affected limb
Slow-healing wounds or ulcers on the feet or legs
Weak or absent pulses in the legs or feet
Specialized Treatment Approaches
Our comprehensive treatments for PAD may include:
Lifestyle Modifications: Recommendations for smoking cessation, regular exercise, and a healthy diet to improve arterial health and reduce symptoms.
Endovascular Procedures: Minimally invasive treatments such as angioplasty and stenting to open narrowed or blocked arteries and restore blood flow to the legs.
Bypass Surgery: Surgical procedures to create new pathways for blood flow, bypassing blocked arteries and improving circulation to the limbs.
