Welcome to Valley Radiology’s PAD Treatment Options

Today’s PAD treatment options include lifestyle changes, medical treatment, and new innovative procedures based on your individual needs. All treatments are performed in the comfort of our advanced procedure suites at Valley Radiology.

To treat PAD, Murali Meka, MD, and Bryan Swilley, MD, offer:

Angiogram
This procedure involves a radiologist threading a catheter through the femoral artery of the patient’s groin to reach the blocked arteries in the patient’s leg. From there, the radiologist may inflate a balloon to open the blocked blood vessel. This is a minimally invasive option to treat PAD.

Balloon Angioplasty/Stent Placement
Through angioplasty surgery, a stent, a metal, plastic, or mesh tube, is implanted into the affected artery allowing it to remain open permanently.

Atherectomy
A minimally invasive procedure uses a catheter to reach the site of the blockage. There, a small blade or laser is used to remove the arterial plaque – a process that can be repeated to treat additional plaque.
