Restoring Blood Flow Without Major Surgery For patients with Peripheral Artery Disease, the core problem is straightforward: narrowed or blocked arteries are starving the legs and feet of the blood flow they need. The symptoms — leg pain, non-healing wounds, cold feet, cramping — are all downstream effects of that reduced circulation. Angioplasty and stenting are two of the most effective minimally invasive procedures for restoring blood flow in PAD patients. At...

AV Fistula vs. AV Graft: Which Dialysis Access Is Right for You?
Understanding Your Dialysis Access Options If you've been diagnosed with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and need hemodialysis, one of the first decisions you and your medical team will make is how to create a reliable access point for your dialysis treatments.

What Is Peripheral Artery Disease? Peripheral Artery Disease — commonly called PAD — is a circulatory condition in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the legs and feet.
