Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) and Limb Salvage

We help patients avoid amputation and get their lives back.

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) doesn’t just make walking harder—it can lead to serious complications if left untreated, including non-healing wounds, infections, and even limb loss. At Endovascular Consultants of Delaware, we specialize in limb salvage and PAD treatment using minimally invasive methods that restore circulation, relieve pain, and help patients move forward confidently.

What Is Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)?

Why trust us with your care? Because at EVC, we blend our specialized skill with the latest in medical technology with a deep understanding of your individual health needs. Our Delaware-based team of vascular specialists uses comprehensive evaluations and state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to pinpoint and treat PAD. Procedures like angioplasty and stenting are performed right in our outpatient facility, focusing on enhancing your circulation, supporting wound healing, and safeguarding your limbs with the least possible discomfort.

Common symptoms include:
  • Leg pain when walking (claudication)
  • Numbness or weakness
  • Sores or wounds that won’t heal
  • Coldness in your lower leg or foot

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, don’t wait. Early treatment can prevent complications.

Our Approach to PAD & Limb Salvage

At EVC, we take a comprehensive, personalized approach to treating PAD. Our goal is simple: restore blood flow, save limbs, and improve quality of life.

  • Angioplasty – to widen narrowed arteries
  • Stenting – to keep arteries open
  • Atherectomy – to remove built-up plaque

All procedures are performed with image guidance and small incisions—no hospital stay required.

Who We Help

PAD affects people from all walks of life, but is especially common among:
  • Adults over 50
  • Smokers or former smokers
  • People with diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol
  • Individuals with a history of heart or vascular disease

If you’re experiencing symptoms—or if you’ve been told you might need an amputation—get a second opinion. You may have options that don’t involve surgery or limb loss.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can PAD be reversed?
 PAD can’t be “cured,” but its progression can be slowed or stopped, and symptoms can often be relieved with treatment.
How do I know if my symptoms are PAD?
 Leg pain while walking that improves with rest is a common early sign. We offer simple diagnostic tests to confirm it.
Will I need surgery?
Not necessarily. Our procedures are minimally invasive and typically don’t require general anesthesia or a hospital stay.
How long is recovery?
Most patients go home the same day and resume light activity within a few days.
Am I too old for this?
Most of our patients are older than 60 and some even in their 90s. The problem is and your age-it is untreated vascular disease, and we will try to help.

Every treatment plan is personalized based on your health, risk factors, and goals.
