Breakthrough Peripheral Arterial Disease Treatments

ProHealth Care has invested in advanced technology to treat peripheral arterial disease (PAD). PAD is caused by decreased blood flow as a result of narrow, clogged leg arteries. More than 10 million Americans suffer from PAD, but many more remain undiagnosed because they think their symptoms are just signs of aging.

If you think you have PAD, ProHealth Care's Regional Heart & Vascular Center can help.

What are our PAD services?

ProHealth care offers comprehensive diagnostic and treatment services for PAD. Our specialists perform the most sophisticated, minimally invasive laser ablation treatment options that remove blockages in the leg arteries to restore blood flow to the legs.

Diamondback 360 Orbital Atherectomy System

Heavy calcium build-up (plaque) in the blood vessels of some people with peripheral vascular disease is very difficult to remove and limits physicians' ability to treat these patients. ProHealth Care has invested in a revolutionary Diamondback 360 Orbital Atherectomy System, which uses a special orbiting laser to sand away plaque and restore blood flow. It is different from existing technologies because it can safely remove the stone-like calcified plaque while keeping surrounding tissue safe.

What are benefits of laser ablation treatments?

Patients receiving laser ablation treatment have experienced:

  • Rapid improvement
  • Dramatic reduction of plaque
  • Increased blood flow
  • Improved mobility
  • Better wound healing capabilities 
  • Patients are typically back on their feet and pain-free in two days or less.

What are PAD symptoms?

  • Leg pain that worsens with exercise, improving with rest
  • Numbness, tingling or coldness in lower legs and feet
  • Ulcers or sores on the legs or feet that don't heal
