Peripheral Arterial Disease

Our Offerings

• Clinical Evaluation: The clinical evaluation of the PAD includes blood tests(such as high cholesterol, diabetes, and high triglyceride) and imaging tests (such as ultrasound, ankle-brachial index, and angiography).
• Non-invasive Vascular Lab Assessment: Generally, two types of non-vascular laboratory assessment techniques are used for peripheral arterial disease. The indirect methods include segmental limb pressures and Doppler waveforms. The direct method includes color duplex imaging.
• Hybrid Revascularization: It is the combination of open surgery and endovascular therapy for the management of peripheral arterial disease. The advantages include reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and improved surgical outcomes.
• Peripheral Angioplasty / Stenting: The procedure is performed to open the obstructed arteries with the use of a catheter and balloon. If required, the surgeon may place a stent in the artery to keep it open.
• Atherectomy: It is a method that involves the removal of plaque from the artery.
• Use of Drug-Coated Balloons / Stents: Drug-coated balloons improves the overall outcomes of peripheral angioplasty by locally delivering the drugs that prevent stenosis.
• Thoracofemoral Bypass: This procedure treats aortoiliac occlusive disease in patients not eligible for traditional aortobifemoral bypass.
• Aortofemoral Bypass: This procedure bypasses the damaged blood vessels in the groin and the abdomen.
• Axillofemoral Bypass: This procedure involves creating a bypass from one axillary artery to a single or both femoral arteries. It is considered the last option for limb salvage in high-risk patients suffering from aortoiliac disease.
• Other Bypass Surgeries: The other bypass surgeries include iliofemoral bypass, femoropopliteal bypass, femorotibial bypass, and carotid subclavian bypass.
• Stem Cell Therapy: It is an advanced treatment option for patients with peripheral arterial disease who have not benefited from the other treatment options. Studies have reported that stem cell transplants help treat vascular diseases.
