Peripheral artery disease develops when narrowed arteries reduce blood flow, commonly affecting the legs. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute provides patient information about peripheral artery disease, including symptoms, risk factors, and treatment.
Patients diagnosed with enlargement of the aorta can also review the NHLBI guidance on aortic aneurysm.
Vascular Surgery and Patient Care Approach
Vascular disease can develop gradually, particularly in people with diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, a history of smoking, or other cardiovascular risk factors.
Evaluation may include physical examination, vascular ultrasound, ankle-brachial index testing, CT angiography, or other studies depending on the symptoms.
Dr. Halow’s practice includes both traditional vascular surgery and less invasive endovascular procedures. Angioplasty and stenting, for example, may be appropriate for selected narrowed or blocked arteries without requiring conventional open surgery.
Treatment decisions depend on the location and severity of disease, symptoms, circulation, medical history, and the risk of complications.
Vascular Imaging and Endovascular Care
Vascular ultrasound uses sound waves to examine blood vessels and measure blood flow. It can help identify arterial narrowing, aneurysms, blood clots, and other circulation problems without exposing patients to ionizing radiation.
Dr. Halow is a Registered Vascular Technologist and Registered Physician in Vascular Interpretation. His professional training also includes endovascular surgery certification through the Arizona Heart Institute.
His clinical experience includes minimally invasive treatment of aortic aneurysms, peripheral vascular interventions, and management of venous disease.
