PAD (Peripheral Arterial Disease) Treatment at USA Vascular Centers
In treating PAD, the overall goals are to reduce any symptoms, improve quality of life and mobility, and prevent heart attack, stroke and amputation. There are three main approaches to PAD treatment:
LIFESTYLE CHANGES If you have PAD or are aiming to prevent it, a specialist may encourage you to quit smoking, lower your high blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood glucose levels, follow a healthy eating plan, lose weight, and get moving.
MEDICATION In addition to lifestyle changes, a specialist may also prescribe one or more medications to lower your blood pressure and cholesterol levels, treat diabetes, prevent the formation of blood clots, and help reduce leg pain.
SPECIAL PROCEDURES If the blood flow in one of your limbs is completely or almost completely blocked, you may benefit from having a procedure in addition to medications and lifestyle changes. Procedures such as stent angioplasty improve the blood circulation to your legs and your ability to walk, and lessen the frequency and intensity of pain.
