Arterial Disease Treatments

Treatment Options for Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) & Non-Healing Ulcers

Treatment for peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and related non-healing wounds is focused on two primary goals: improving blood flow to help relieve symptoms and supporting long-term vascular health.

By improving circulation, many patients are able to experience relief from symptoms such as leg discomfort and reduced mobility, while also supporting the body’s natural healing process. In addition, addressing underlying arterial disease may help reduce the risk of future vascular complications.

At Pedes Venous Institute, we take a comprehensive and personalized approach to care. In addition to lifestyle recommendations such as regular movement and balanced nutrition, we offer minimally invasive vascular treatments designed to restore blood flow and support healing.

Our team uses advanced diagnostic imaging and individualized care plans to guide each step of treatment, helping patients feel informed and supported throughout their care.

Atherectomy

Atherectomy is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove plaque buildup from inside the arteries, helping improve circulation to the lower extremities.
During the procedure, a small catheter is inserted through a tiny access point and guided to the affected artery using advanced imaging. The tip of the catheter gently removes plaque while collecting it in a specialized chamber to help keep the bloodstream clear.

Depending on the level of blockage, this process may be repeated to achieve optimal blood flow. Atherectomy is typically performed under local anesthesia, allowing for a comfortable experience without the need for open surgery.

This treatment can help improve mobility, support wound healing, and reduce symptoms associated with PAD.

Angioplasty

Widening Narrowed Arteries to Improve Circulation
Angioplasty, also known as percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA), is a minimally invasive procedure used to open narrowed arteries and improve blood flow.

A thin, flexible catheter is guided to the area of narrowing, where a small balloon is gently inflated to widen the artery. This helps restore circulation and allows oxygen-rich blood to reach the affected areas more effectively.

Angioplasty is often performed alongside other treatments, such as atherectomy, depending on the patient’s needs. The procedure is typically completed in a short amount of time, with many patients returning home the same day.

Stenting for Peripheral Artery Disease

Supporting Artery Function After Treatment
Stenting involves placing a small mesh tube inside the artery to help support its structure and maintain healthy blood flow.

After an artery has been treated with angioplasty or atherectomy, a stent may be used to help keep the vessel open. This added support can reduce the likelihood of the artery narrowing again over time.
Stenting is commonly used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan and can help improve circulation, reduce discomfort, and support long-term vascular health.
