Peripheral vascular disease

Reopening blocked leg arteries with angioplasty and stents — critical for diabetic foot.

What it is

Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is the narrowing or blockage of the arteries supplying the legs, most often from diabetes and smoking. It causes pain on walking, and in advanced stages non-healing wounds. Angioplasty reopens these arteries through a pinhole — and in diabetic foot, restored blood flow is what lets a wound finally heal.

Is this you?

How the procedure works

01

Angiogram

Contrast imaging maps every blockage from the aorta to the foot.

02

Balloon angioplasty

A balloon opens the narrowed segment from inside the artery.

03

Stent if needed

A stent scaffolds arteries that would otherwise re-narrow.

04

Flow restored

Warm foot, palpable pulses, and a wound that can finally heal.

Asked at almost every consultation

I am diabetic. Why does my foot wound matter so much?

A non-healing diabetic foot wound with poor blood supply is how amputations start. Restoring flow early is the single most effective way to prevent that.

How soon can I walk?

The same day. Structured walking is part of the treatment for claudication.

How long does a stent last?

Many stay open for years. We monitor with Doppler scans and re-treat narrowing early if it develops — much easier than treating a fresh blockage.
