Peripheral Arterial Disease
- The buildup of fatty deposits and plaque that block the flow of blood through arteries in the lower extremities.
- When there is a decrease in the blood supply to the legs, the most common symptom is pain or cramping when walking.
- If left untreated, this could potentially lead to gangrene and amputation.
- Treatment for this condition is peripheral angioplasty.
