Peripheral Artery Disease

RIVEA Vascular Institute | 04 September 2025

Co-founder Dr. Karthik Mikkineni explains Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD): Peripheral Arterial Disease is a condition where plaque builds up in the arteries supplying blood to the limbs—most often the legs—leading to reduced circulation.

Limb fatigue, cramping, or pain while walking can be early warning signs of PAD. If left untreated, the condition can progress to non-healing wounds, tissue loss, or even amputation. At RIVEA Vascular Institute, we focus on early diagnosis and use minimally invasive treatments such as angioplasty and stenting to restore blood flow. Timely care can save your mobility and prevent serious complications.
