Peripheral Vascular Disease

Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is a condition in which the arteries that carry blood to the arms or legs become narrowed or clogged with plaque, interfering with normal blood flow. Interventional radiologists can evaluate and treat the condition using angiography, ball angioplasty and stent placement, and thrombolytic therapy.
