Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is a common yet serious condition that affects the blood vessels outside of the heart and brain, most commonly in the legs. Narrowed or blocked arteries reduce blood flow, leading to pain, and potential complications if untreated.
Angioplasty, often combined with stent placement, is a minimally invasive procedure that restores blood flow by opening narrowed arteries.
At Frontier Medical Care, Dr. Farouk Marzouk and his dedicated team offer comprehensive diagnosis and advanced treatment for Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), focusing on your safety, recovery, and long-term vascular health.
