Frequently Asked Questions
What PAD symptoms should Queens patients watch for?›
Leg cramping while walking, calf pain that improves with rest, cold feet, numbness, color changes, reduced pulses, or slow-healing foot wounds should be evaluated by a vascular doctor.
How is PAD checked in Forest Hills?›
PAD evaluation often starts with a pulse exam and ankle-brachial index (ABI). Duplex ultrasound or CT angiography may be used to map blocked or narrowed leg arteries before treatment planning.
Is PAD serious?›
Yes. PAD can raise the risk of non-healing wounds, limb complications, heart attack, and stroke, especially for patients with diabetes or smoking history. Early diagnosis helps protect walking ability and foot health.
Can PAD be treated without open surgery?›
Many cases are managed with walking therapy, medication, diabetes and cholesterol control, and smoking cessation. When symptoms or wounds require more blood flow, minimally invasive angioplasty or stenting may be considered.
