Peripheral Artery Disease Surgery

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) surgery is a procedure to improve blood flow in the arteries of the legs and other peripheral areas. PAD occurs when arteries become narrowed or blocked, leading to pain, cramping, or poor healing. During the surgery, a vascular surgeon may remove the blockage, use a balloon to widen the artery, or place a stent to keep it open. This helps restore blood circulation, relieve symptoms, and reduce the risk of complications like infection or amputation. Recovery may vary, but the goal is to enhance mobility and overall quality of life.
