Peripheral Vascular Disease

If you’re diagnosed with PVD, the ideal treatment depends on both the extent of the disease and any underlying conditions. Sometimes lifestyle adjustments—like quitting smoking, adopting a healthier diet, and increasing low-impact exercise—provide noticeable improvement. Medications may also be prescribed to manage blood pressure, lower cholesterol, or reduce blood clot formation.

For more significant blockages, minimally invasive interventions such as angioplasty or stenting can reopen narrowed arteries and restore blood flow. In advanced or complex cases, bypass surgery may be recommended, creating a new route around a blocked artery. Treatment plans vary from patient to patient, aiming to address both symptom relief and long-term vascular health.
