Endovascular Treatment for Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD): A Minimally Invasive Solution
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) occurs when arteries in the legs or arms become narrowed or blocked due to plaque buildup, leading to pain, poor circulation, and risk of limb loss. Endovascular treatment by an interventional radiologist restores blood flow without the need for open surgery, providing rapid relief and improved mobility.
Indications for Endovascular PAD Treatment
✅ Leg pain (claudication) while walking due to poor circulation
✅ Non-healing wounds or ulcers caused by reduced blood supply
✅ Rest pain (pain at night or while resting) due to severe arterial narrowing
✅ Diabetic foot complications with poor wound healing
✅ Gangrene or risk of limb amputation due to critical ischemia
✅ Failed medical management or worsening symptoms despite lifestyle changes
Procedure Details
- Preparation: The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with mild sedation for comfort.
- Access & Imaging: A small catheter is inserted into the artery (usually through the groin or wrist), and real-time X-ray (angiography) is used to visualize blockages.
- Endovascular Treatment:
- Balloon Angioplasty – A tiny balloon is inflated to open narrowed arteries.
- Stent Placement – A small metal stent is inserted to keep the artery open.
- Thrombectomy– A special device removes acute clot inside the blocked artery.
- Completion: The catheter is removed, and a small bandage is applied. Most patients are discharged the same day or the next day.
