Early treatment of Peripheral Artery Disease can dramatically change outcomes. When circulation is restored early, wounds heal faster, pain improves, and mobility is preserved.
PAD restricts oxygen delivery to tissues. Over time, this leads to ulcers, infections, and tissue death. Early intervention can stop this progression.
Treatment options include lifestyle changes, medication, and minimally invasive procedures such as angioplasty or stenting.
