Take the First Step Toward Healthier Legs and a More Active Life
Do you experience leg pain when walking, cramping at night, or wounds on your feet that are slow to heal? These could be signs of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) — a common yet often overlooked condition that affects millions of people.
PAD occurs when plaque (fatty deposits) builds up in the arteries that carry blood to your legs and feet. This buildup causes your arteries to narrow or become blocked, reducing blood flow and leading to discomfort, fatigue, or even serious complications if untreated.
What Causes PAD?
Several factors increase your risk of developing PAD, including:
- Smoking
- Diabetes
- High cholesterol or high blood pressure
- Aging
- Family history of vascular disease
If you have any of these risk factors — especially if you experience pain or numbness in your legs — it’s important to get evaluated early.
Minimally Invasive Treatments for PAD
Thanks to advancements in vascular medicine, surgery is no longer the only solution. At Ayur Interventional & Vascular Care, we offer state-of-the-art, minimally invasive procedures that restore blood flow and relieve symptoms — all without major surgery.
1. Angioplasty
A tiny balloon is inserted into the blocked artery and gently inflated to open it up, improving blood flow to your legs.
2. Stent Placement
A small metal mesh tube (stent) may be placed to help keep the artery open and maintain healthy circulation.
3. Atherectomy
In this procedure, a special device is used to remove plaque buildup from the inside of the artery, improving blood flow and reducing pain.
All these treatments are performed through a tiny puncture, typically in the groin or wrist, and patients go home the same day — with minimal downtime and a quick return to normal activities.
Why Choose a Minimally Invasive Approach?
- No major surgery or large incisions
- Faster recovery — often just a few days
- Reduced risk of infection and complications
- Immediate symptom relief and improved quality of life
