Peripheral Arterial Disease

Treating the Whole Patient

An estimated 8 million Americans are affected by peripheral arterial disease, also known as peripheral artery disease (PAD). This condition can cause leg discomfort when walking or more serious problems such as pain in the foot at rest, toe ulcers, toe infections and gangrene. The Johns Hopkins multidisciplinary vascular and endovascular team is dedicated to optimizing the patient’s vascular health, not just treating arterial blockages. Our team develops a personalized treatment plan for each patient diagnosed with PAD.

Peripheral Arterial Disease: Why Choose Johns Hopkins

  • Our experts are focused on providing you with the appropriate treatment(s) that meet your needs at the appropriate times.
  • The hybrid therapies available at Johns Hopkins are not typically available at smaller medical centers.
  • Our multidisciplinary team will work with you and your family from evaluation to treatment, and provide follow-up care.
