Did you know people with diabetes are 2–4x more likely to develop peripheral artery disease (PAD)? PAD reduces blood flow to the legs and feet, leading to slow-healing wounds and, in severe cases, amputation.

At CTVS, our vascular experts specialize in diagnosing and treating PAD early to protect mobility and independence. https://shorturl.at/RYuQT

To lower your risk of PAD and its complications, prioritize your overall health: eat a balanced diet, stay active, avoid to***co, and take medications as prescribed to manage blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes. Small daily habits can make a big difference for your legs and your heart!

Severe cases of PAD can cause irreversible tissue damage and increase the risk for amputation if not treated. Our team of vascular surgeons at CTVS provide advanced treatment alternatives with the goal to intervene early, improve blood flow, heal wounds, and to prevent major limb amputations.
