Understanding Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) / Lower Limb Ischemia

Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is a vascular condition caused by narrowing or blockage of arteries supplying blood to the legs and feet. Reduced blood flow leads to pain, poor wound healing, and tissue damage. Severe lower limb ischemia can threaten limb survival if untreated.

Introduction

Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is a vascular condition caused by narrowing or blockage of arteries supplying blood to the legs and feet. Reduced blood flow leads to pain, poor wound healing, and tissue damage. Severe lower limb ischemia can threaten limb survival if untreated.

Common Symptoms

  • Leg pain while walking (claudication)
  • Coldness or numbness in the feet
  • Weak or absent leg pulses
  • Non-healing ulcers or wounds
  • Rest pain in severe disease

Treatment Options

  • Lifestyle modification and smoking cessation
  • Antiplatelet and cholesterol-lowering medications
  • Exercise and vascular rehabilitation
  • Angioplasty and vascular stenting
  • Surgical bypass procedures

Recovery & Outlook

Early diagnosis and vascular treatment can improve circulation, reduce pain, and prevent limb loss. Long-term risk factor control is essential.
