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

  1. Preparation: The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with mild sedation for comfort.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Completion: The catheter is removed, and a small bandage is applied. Most patients are discharged the same day or the next day.

Benefits of Endovascular PAD Treatment

Minimally Invasive: No open surgery, fewer complications, and faster recovery
Immediate Symptom Relief: Restores blood flow and reduces leg pain
Prevents Amputation: Helps save limbs in patients with severe PAD
Quick Recovery: Most patients resume normal activities within a few days
Highly Effective: Long-term improvement in circulation and quality of life
