Peripheral Arterial Doppler Test
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a vascular disease that occurs outside of the heart or brain. PAD occurs when arteries become constricted or obstructed, most commonly as a result of atherosclerosis or plaque. The arteries in the legs are the most usually affected.
Your problem may be evaluated using vascular ultrasound, Doppler ultrasound, catheter angiography, CT angiography (CTA), or MR angiography (MRA). To cure your disease, your doctor may advise you to make specific lifestyle modifications. To enhance blood flow, bypass surgery or interventional techniques such as angioplasty, catheter-directed thrombolysis, or atherectomy may be employed.
