PAD is caused by atherosclerosis or hardening of the arteries. Atherosclerotic plaques block the blood flow through the arteries, causing reduced blood flow and nutrients to your legs. There are three common conditions that result in treatment plans.
1. Ulceration / Gangrene
Ulcers on your toes and/or feet. These can last for months without healing. Severely damaged circulation may lead to ulcers with no oxygen or nutrients to form healthy tissue. In extreme cases, these can lead to infection and gangrene. A prompt evaluation by the vascular surgery team can help alleviate the problem and put you at ease.
2. Rest Pain
A burning or throbbing feeling in your foot, often worse at nighttime when trying to sleep. Often this is a sign of impending, irreversible damage to your leg. A referral to the vascular surgery team is important because they can perform a proper workup and determine if surgery is needed.
3. Claudication
A cramping sensation in your buttocks, thighs, or calf muscles. Treatments include medical therapy, lifestyle changes, smoking cessation, exercise and, in rare circumstances surgery.

With the introduction of new technologies, our team has developed an advanced endovascular surgical suite. This suite rivals the technology found in many advanced medical centers. For our patients, this means that can we safely perform most procedures outside of a hospital setting. This often means you receive a personalized care experience, and greater flexibility and efficiency with scheduling. Another key point to consider are the lower co-pays and out of pocket expenses for patients. Additionally, patients report tremendous satisfaction with avoiding the hospital and the shorter recovery times associated with these procedures. Many patients return to normal activity within a few days.
Symmetry Vascular Center is proud to deliver a personalized patient experience tailored to one’s individual needs. The dedicated team of physicians and care providers is committed to their patient’s safety and comfort throughout their care. This begins during your initial office consultation and continues through your procedure, recovery, and follow-up visits.
