What is PAD?
Peripheral Arterial Disease
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a common condition that occurs when the arteries that carry blood to your limbs narrow, making it difficult for blood to flow. This can cause pain, numbness, and other problems in your legs and feet. PAD is caused by a buildup of plaque in the arteries. Plaque is a substance made up of fat, cholesterol, calcium, and other materials. Over time, plaque can harden and narrow the arteries, making it difficult for blood to flow.
PAD Can Be Treated
Why Choose Our Vascular Services
PAD is a serious condition that can lead to amputation, heart attack, and stroke. However, it can be managed with lifestyle changes, medication, and surgery., Medications can help to improve blood flow and reduce symptoms.

In some cases, surgery may be needed to treat PAD. Southern Kentucky Vascular offers a variety of progressive treatments for PAD Surgery options include angioplasty and stenting, which can open blocked arteries, and bypass surgery, which creates a new path for blood to flow around blocked arteries.
