Best Doctors for Peripheral Arterial Disease Treatment in Karimnagar

Peripheral artery disease is a circulatory problem that occurs due to the accumulation of fats and cholesterol in the arteries of the arms or legs. The common symptoms of peripheral artery disease include burning pain in the feet and toes while resting, usually at night while lying flat, more frequent soft tissue and skin infections, cool skin on the feet, redness or other color changes in the skin and toe and foot sores that don't heal. The major factor causing peripheral artery disease is atherosclerosis. PAD is diagnosed by analyzing the ankle-brachial index, pulse volume recording, angiogram and vascular ultrasound. Peripheral artery disease is treated by taking medications, making lifestyle modifications, supervised exercise programs and minimally invasive or surgical treatments like angioplasty, peripheral artery bypass surgery, stents and atherectomy. The anticipated complications after the surgery would be fever, belly pain, shortness of breath, swelling in the legs, chest pain and an open incision.
