Expert Treatment of PVD and PAD

Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is one of the many vascular conditions diagnosed and treated by the highly skilled doctors at Loyola Medicine. PVD is a slow and progressive circulation disorder caused by plaque building up in your blood vessels (arteries and veins). This plaque buildup is called atherosclerosis, which leads to narrowing and hardening of your arteries, cause low blood flow and injuring your nerves and other connective tissues.

When this condition occurs in the arteries, it is called peripheral arterial disease (PAD). The arteries in the lower limbs are the most common location for PAD to occur. PAD can also affect the arteries of the arms, neck, vessels supplying vital organs, or any other arteries in the body.

The narrow arteries and poor circulation most commonly occur in your legs, but may also be present in arteries that supply blood to your internal organs, resulting in potential risk of premature heart disease, heart attack, angina or stroke.
