Peripheral Artery Disease Specialist
Understanding Peripheral Artery Disease
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is a common circulatory problem that occurs when there is a narrowing or blockage of the blood vessels outside the heart, particularly in the legs. If left untreated, PAD can lead to serious complications such as leg pain, non-healing wounds, and in severe cases, amputation.
Comprehensive PAD Services at Bay Regional Medical Center
At Bay Regional Medical Center, we understand the importance of a multidisciplinary approach when it comes to managing PAD. Our team of highly skilled physicians, nurses, and specialists work together to provide comprehensive care for patients with PAD.
Advanced Diagnostic Techniques
We utilize state-of-the-art diagnostic techniques to accurately diagnose PAD and determine the best possible treatment plan. Our experienced specialists will assess your medical history, perform a thorough physical examination, and conduct non-invasive tests such as ankle-brachial index (ABI), ultrasound, and angiography to evaluate the extent of arterial blockage.
Personalized Treatment Options
Once a diagnosis is confirmed, our Peripheral Artery Disease Specialists will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. Our treatment options may include:
- Lifestyle Modifications: Our specialists will provide guidance on making positive lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, adopting a healthy diet, and incorporating regular exercise to improve overall vascular health.
- Medication: Certain medications may be prescribed to manage symptoms, reduce blood clotting, and lower cholesterol levels.
- Angioplasty and Stenting: This minimally invasive procedure involves the use of a tiny balloon to widen the blocked artery and the placement of a stent to keep it open.
- Bypass Surgery: In cases where the arteries are severely blocked, bypass surgery may be recommended to redirect blood flow around the blocked area.
- Endovascular Laser Therapies: Utilizing advanced laser technology, this procedure helps to remove plaque and restore blood flow in the affected arteries.

At Bay Regional Medical Center, we believe in a collaborative approach to healthcare. Our Peripheral Artery Disease Specialists work closely with other specialists such as cardiologists, vascular surgeons, and wound care experts to provide comprehensive and coordinated care for our patients.
