About Peripheral Artery Disease

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is commonly referred to as hardening of the arteries. In PAD, the inside of the artery becomes narrow and blood flow is reduced. PAD affects 8-12 million people in the US and can lead to serious health problems such as stroke, heart attack, or amputation. Early in this disease, common symptoms may include cramping or pain in the legs and heavy or tired legs while exercising or at rest. Only about one third of all people with PAD feel pain; most people with PAD have no symptoms at all. Exercise, medications, balloon angioplasty, bypass grafts, stents and plaque removal devices similar to the ones used in this study are used to improve blood flow in the legs. You and your doctor should carefully determine the best treatment option for you.
