What Are the Long-Term Complications of Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)?
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is more than poor circulation — it’s a serious vascular condition that can silently progress and impact your entire health.
When left untreated, PAD can lead to:
• Chronic leg pain (claudication)
• Non-healing wounds or ulcers
• Tissue damage (gangrene)
• Limb loss (amputation)
Because PAD is caused by systemic atherosclerosis, it also significantly increases the risk of heart attack and stroke, making early diagnosis critical to protecting both your limbs and your life.
At Milford Vascular Institute, our board-certified vascular specialists use advanced, minimally invasive treatments to restore healthy blood flow and prevent complications, including:
• Atherectomy
• Angioplasty
• Stenting
These outpatient procedures are designed to relieve pain, improve mobility, and help you avoid serious outcomes like amputation.
If you’re experiencing leg pain, cramping, or slow-healing wounds, don’t ignore the signs.
Early treatment can save your limb — and your life.
Schedule your vascular consultation today and take control of your circulation with confidence.
