What Is Peripheral
Artery Disease?
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a serious vascular
condition that affects the lower extremities such as the
legs, ankles, or feet. It can develop when plaque begins to
build up within the arteries that supply blood, oxygen, and
nutrients to your legs. Over time, this plaque buildup
causes the arteries to narrow, preventing oxygenated
blood from reaching areas of the body. This condition is
known as atherosclerosis.
If you have peripheral artery disease, you may experience
difficulty walking or climbing stairs due to leg pain,
cramping, and weakness. Other symptoms may also be
present such as poor toenail or leg hair growth,
restlessness at night, discomfort that stops at rest, slow or
non-healing wounds, and temperature changes in one leg
compared to the other. Aging and a range of lifestyle
factors, including smoking, poor diet, inactivity, and
diabetes, can contribute to the development of PAD.
At USA Vascular Centers, we care about your vascular
health, mobility, and quality of life. Below, we answer
