Peripheral Artery Disease

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is far more than just leg pain — it’s a serious circulatory condition with significant consequences if left untreated. Severe pain and loss of mobility, nonhealing wounds and infections, and increased risk of heart attacks or strokes pose serious challenges to your quality of life and overall health. Premier Endovascular offers a comprehensive suite of advanced, minimally invasive solutions to effectively address PAD. Your care is tailored to your health condition and lifestyle, allowing you to achieve the long-lasting relief you need.

Understanding Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)

Patients tend to underestimate the severity of leg pain symptoms, often attributing them to aging, when they may indicate serious issues requiring early intervention for improved treatment outcomes. Though occasional mild leg pain is common, persistent or severe leg pain — with or without symptoms like varicose veins — requires medical attention.

These symptoms can indicate a range of circulatory conditions collectively known as peripheral vascular disease (PVD). This broad term encompasses any disorder of the blood vessels outside the heart, including issues in both your arteries (such as blockages) and your veins (such as varicose veins).

One of the most common and serious forms of PVD is peripheral artery disease (PAD), which specifically affects the arteries. PAD is a condition where narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to your limbs, most commonly the legs. It’s caused by atherosclerosis, a buildup of fatty plaque accelerated by risk factors like smoking, diabetes and high blood pressure. The most common symptom is painful muscle cramping when walking (claudication), but other warning signs include:

  • Leg numbness or weakness: You may experience a feeling of “pins and needles” or general weakness in the leg.
  • Coldness: One leg or foot may feel noticeably colder than the other.
  • Changes in skin and nails: The skin on the legs may become shiny, with possible hair loss on the legs and feet. Toenails may grow slowly or become brittle.
  • Non-healing sores: Ulcers or wounds can develop on the toes, feet or legs and are slow to heal or do not heal at all
  • Weak or absent pulse: You may notice a diminished pulse in the legs or feet.

While the best treatment for peripheral artery disease depends on the patient’s specific condition, minimally invasive treatments are considered the gold standard for many individuals. If you suffer from one or more of the symptoms of PAD, don’t wait — schedule a consultation today.

Treatment for Peripheral Artery Disease in West Orange, NJ

At Premier Endovascular, we treat peripheral artery disease (PAD) using advanced, minimally invasive procedures as an effective alternative to traditional surgery. Performed in our outpatient office, these treatments restore blood flow through a tiny incision.

Our techniques include:

  • Angioplasty: A small balloon is inflated inside the artery to compress plaque.
  • Stenting: A tiny mesh tube (stent) is often placed to prop the artery open.
  • Atherectomy: A specialized tool carefully removes hard, calcified plaque buildup.

The goal of these nonsurgical solutions is to relieve painful symptoms, such as cramping, and help you heal, ensuring a faster and less painful recovery.
