Understanding Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)

How RIA Endovascular Can Help

Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is a common yet serious vascular condition that occurs when arteries in the legs and other peripheral areas narrow due to plaque buildup, reducing blood flow. Left untreated, PAD can lead to pain, mobility issues, and even more severe complications like ulcers or limb loss. At RIA Endovascular, we specialize in advanced, minimally invasive treatments to restore blood flow and improve patients' quality of life.

Recognizing the Symptoms of PAD

PAD often develops gradually, and symptoms can range from mild to debilitating. Common signs include:

Leg pain or cramping during physical activity (claudication)
Numbness or weakness in the legs
Coldness in the lower leg or foot compared to the other side
Non-healing wounds or ulcers on the feet or legs
Discoloration or shiny skin on the legs

If you’re experiencing these symptoms, it’s important to seek medical attention promptly. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent complications and help you regain mobility and comfort.

Innovative Treatments at RIA Endovascular

At RIA Endovascular, we offer a range of cutting-edge treatments tailored to the individual needs of each patient. Here are some of the most effective options for PAD:

Angioplasty and Stenting: This minimally invasive procedure uses a small balloon to open narrowed arteries, often followed by the placement of a stent to keep the artery open.
Atherectomy: This technique removes plaque buildup from the arterial walls, restoring blood flow and relieving symptoms.
Medication Management: In some cases, medications can help manage symptoms, reduce the risk of blood clots, and improve circulation.
Lifestyle Modifications: Our team provides guidance on exercise, smoking cessation, and dietary changes to support long-term vascular health.
