Peripheral Vascular Disease
When you learn you have peripheral vascular disease (PVD) or peripheral arterial disease (PAD), it’s time to go on the offensive. Our specialists perform surgical and nonsurgical treatments to improve blood flow and slow disease progression.
Why Choose Sutter?
If you have a heart condition or diabetes and experience painful leg cramps or a wound that won't heal, contact your doctor. You might have peripheral vascular disease (PVD) or peripheral artery disease (PAD). These progressive blood disorders are caused by plaque buildup that narrows blood vessels away from the heart and brain.
At Sutter, we offer an array of treatments to remove plaque buildup, dissolve clots and increase blood flow, including atherectomy, thrombectomy and stent placement. Our clinical care team can help you manage PVD and PAD to prevent them from worsening.
