Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)
Restoring blood flow to the legs with the least invasive approach that will work for you.
Minimally Invasive Endovascular Interventions
Endovascular therapies utilize image-guided catheter techniques to re-establish arterial lumen diameter when conservative management is insufficient:
Balloon Angioplasty
A catheter-mounted balloon is advanced into the arterial stenosis or occlusion and inflated to compress plaque and enlarge the vessel lumen.
Drug-Coated Balloons (DCB)
Balloons coated with anti-restenotic agents (such as paclitaxel) deliver medication directly to the vessel wall during inflation to reduce scar tissue regrowth.
Atherectomy
Catheter-based devices (directional, rotational, orbital, or laser) physically shave, cut, or vaporize calcified arterial plaque to restore lumen capacity.
Vascular Stenting
Flexible metal mesh tubes (bare-metal or drug-eluting stents) are permanently deployed to provide structural scaffolding and maintain vessel openness.
Open Surgical Revascularization
Open surgical reconstruction is reserved for extensive, heavily calcified blockages or cases where catheter-based options are unsuitable or have failed:
Peripheral Artery Bypass Surgery
Surgically constructing an arterial detour around the blocked segment using an autologous vein (e.g., great saphenous vein) or a synthetic graft (e.g., PTFE or Dacron).
Surgical Endarterectomy
Directly opening the blocked vessel (commonly the common femoral artery) to surgically extract plaque deposits before securing the vessel with a patch.
Hybrid Revascularization
Combining open surgical reconstruction (e.g., femoral endarterectomy) with simultaneous endovascular stenting in adjoining arterial segments during one operation.
