Minimally Invasive Solutions for Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)
Are you experiencing leg pain, cramping, or wounds that won’t heal? These could be signs of Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)—a condition where narrowed or blocked arteries reduce blood flow to your limbs. At The Vein Center, Mumbai, we specialize in state-of-the-art treatments like Peripheral Angioplasty, SFA Angioplasty, and Rotational Atherectomy to restore blood flow and improve your quality of life.
What Is PAD?
PAD occurs when plaque buildup in the arteries restricts blood flow to the legs. Left untreated, PAD can lead to severe complications like leg ulcers, gangrene, and even amputation. Common symptoms include:
Symptoms of PAD
- Shiny Skin on Legs
- Leg Numbness or Weakness
- Sores on Toes, Feet or Legs
- Painful Cramping on Hips, Thighs or Calf Muscles
- Discoloration of Your Legs
- Hair Loss on Your Legs
- Slower Growth of Toenails
Advanced PAD Treatments
Leg Angioplasty
Minimally Invasive PAD Treatment
Leg angioplasty involves the use of a thin catheter with a balloon at its tip. Guided by real-time imaging, the balloon is inserted into the blocked artery and inflated to widen it. This process improves blood flow and relieves symptoms caused by poor circulation. In some cases, a stent may be placed to keep the artery open long-term.
Relief
Relief from leg pain and cramping.
Mobility
Improved mobility and quality of life.
Prevention
Prevention of severe complications like gangrene.
Recovery
Quick recovery with minimal downtime.
Rotational Atherectomy
Minimally Invasive PAD Treatment
Rotational atherectomy uses a high-speed rotating device (burr or crown) coated with microscopic diamond particles to grind away calcified plaque in the arteries. The debris is reduced to micro-particles, which are safely flushed out through the bloodstream. This process prepares the artery for subsequent treatments like Peripheral Angioplasty or stent placement.
Effective
Effectively removes hard, calcified plaque.
Success
Enhances the success of angioplasty and stenting.
Restoration
Restores blood flow and reduces symptoms
Faster Recovery
Minimally invasive, with faster recovery.
SFA Angioplasty
Minimally Invasive PAD Treatment
SFA Angioplasty is a targeted treatment to open up blockages in the Superficial Femoral Artery. Using a catheter with a small balloon, the procedure widens the artery, allowing blood to flow freely. In some cases, a stent may be placed to keep the artery open long-term. This procedure is especially effective for patients with severe PAD, particularly those who experience leg pain during walking (claudication) or critical limb ischemia (CLI).
Relief
Relief from leg pain and cramping.
Improvement
Improved blood flow to the lower limbs.
Prevention
Prevention of severe complications like gangrene.
Recovery
Quick recovery with minimal downtime.

Q1: When I need treatments like Leg Angioplasty or Rotational Atherectomy?
A1: If you experience symptoms such as persistent leg pain, cramping while walking, non-healing wounds, discoloration of the skin, or severe conditions like gangrene, you may have Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD). These treatments can help restore blood flow and prevent complications.
Q2: What is the recovery time for procedures like SFA Angioplasty or Rotational Atherectomy?
A2: These minimally invasive procedures generally have a short recovery time. Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days, though your doctor will provide specific guidance based on your condition.
Q3: Are these treatments painful?
A3: No, these procedures are performed under local anesthesia or mild sedation, ensuring minimal discomfort. Advanced techniques used at The Vein Center are designed to reduce pain and speed up recovery.
Q4: Will I need a stent during my angioplasty procedure?
A4: A stent may be placed during angioplasty if necessary to keep the artery open after the blockage is removed. Your vascular specialist will decide based on the severity and location of the blockage.
Q5: How do I know if I am a candidate for these treatments?
A5: A thorough evaluation, including imaging tests like Doppler ultrasound or angiography, is conducted to determine your eligibility. Book a consultation at The Vein Center to assess your condition and receive personalized recommendations.
