Peripheral Artery Disease Programme

Overview

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a narrowing of the arteries in your legs, reducing blood flow and causing pain, cramping, and even sores. If left untreated, PAD can lead to serious complications like gangrene and amputation. At the AKUH Peripheral Artery Disease Programme, we offer comprehensive care to diagnose, manage, and treat PAD, helping you regain mobility and improve your quality of life.

Conditions We Treat

  • Intermittent claudication (leg pain that occurs with activity and improves with rest).

  • Critical limb ischemia (severe pain at rest, sores, or gangrene due to lack of blood flow).

  • Non-healing wounds or ulcers on the legs.

To learn more about our highly trained and skilled experts, search on Find a Doctor under the specialty of Vascular Surgery.

If you are experiencing leg pain, cramping, or sores, schedule an appointment with a vascular specialist at AKUH. Early diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve your quality of life and prevent complications.
