Peripheral Artery Disease Treatment

Peripheral Artery Disease Treatment

This buildup—called plaque—narrows your arteries, often reducing or blocking the flow of blood. Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is most commonly seen in the legs, but also can be present in the arteries that carry blood from your heart to your head, arms, kidneys and stomach. Nearly everyone who has PAD¬, even those who do not have leg symptoms, suffer from an inability to walk as fast or as far as they could before PAD. In all, PAD affects 8 to 12 million people in the United States, especially those that are 50 and older. If you are diagnosed with PAD, the sooner you are treated, the lower your risk of the disease progressing.

Talk to Dr. Toufic Safa about minimally invasive treatment options.

However, your inborn tendency to develop new veins will not be cured by this or any other form of treatment. Dr. Toufic Safa treats venous insufficiency completely, removing all backward-flowing veins, making your treatment for varicose veins as thorough as possible.
