Peripheral Artery Disease Treatment

Peripheral artery disease, also known as PAD, is a dangerous condition that can lead to life-threatening heart disease. A partially or fully blocked artery is a cause of poor circulation, which has direct implications on your quality of life. But there are PAD treatments to correct or overcome this vein disease. If your case is mild enough, you may only need lifestyle or diet changes. While surgery is sometimes the most appropriate solution, it’s always the last treatment to use. Ask an expert like Dr. George Bolotin of the Astra Vein Treatment Center in Brooklyn, New York. Don’t wait for your condition to worsen.

What Is Peripheral Artery Disease?
Peripheral artery disease, also called PAD, is a circulation problem caused by the narrowing of your arteries. Symptoms of the disease include a loss of leg hair, an ulcer or open wound on your leg or even just cool or thinning leg skin. You can treat PAD with a combination of remedies, including:
Careful at-home care
Lifestyle changes
Medications
Surgery or angioplasty as a last resort

A narrowing of the arteries is often caused by a condition called atherosclerosis, a build-up of fatty deposits in your arteries that reduces blood flow. It can lead to pain in your limbs from not receiving proper blood circulation. Dr. George Bolotin of the Astra Vein Treatment Center is an expert Interventional Radiologist who specializes in vein care in Brooklyn. He’s qualified to diagnose your condition and provide PAD treatment options.

Which Medications Treat PAD?
Medications as a peripheral artery disease treatment primarily address symptoms, although some treat underlying conditions that contribute to your diagnosis of PAD. Your vein doctor may recommend medications to control concurrent diagnoses that make your PAD worse, such as:
- High blood pressure, which places additional stress on your arteries and kidneys, while making your diabetes worse
- High cholesterol, since high levels of cholesterol further clog your arteries and veins
- Diabetes and high blood sugar, a condition that impedes the regular functioning of your circulatory and immune systems
- Blood clots, which can get caught in arteries that have narrowed, increasing your risk of heart attack or stroke

The best vein doctor in Brooklyn knows that PAD symptoms can be controlled with medications like blood thinners to improve blood flow and reduce limb pain. Dr. Bolotin may even prescribe over-the-counter medications for the leg aches and pains that result from peripheral artery disease.
