Healthy blood flow is essential for keeping your legs strong and active. When the arteries that supply blood to your legs become narrowed or blocked, less blood reaches the muscles and tissues in your legs. This condition is known as peripheral artery disease (PAD).
PAD can cause pain while walking, slow-healing wounds, numbness, or weakness in your legs. These symptoms can affect your mobility, independence, and overall quality of life.
At the CK Birla Hospitals, Jaipur, we provide comprehensive care for patients with peripheral artery disease and other vascular conditions.
Our experienced vascular specialists use advanced diagnostic technology and personalised treatment approaches to restore blood flow, relieve symptoms, and improve long-term vascular health. From diagnosis and treatment to recovery and follow-up care, we support you at every step of your journey.
Peripheral vascular surgery is a specialised field that focuses on diagnosing and treating diseases that affect blood vessels outside the heart and brain. It is commonly used to treat peripheral artery disease (PAD), a condition in which fatty deposits build up inside the arteries, reducing blood flow to the legs. When blood flow is reduced, the muscles and tissues in the legs do not receive enough oxygen and nutrients. This can lead to pain, difficulty walking, poor wound healing, and, in severe cases, tissue damage or limb loss. Not every patient with peripheral artery disease requires surgery. Treatment depends on the severity of the condition and your overall health. Peripheral vascular surgery may be recommended when lifestyle changes, medications, or minimally invasive procedures are not enough to improve blood flow. The goal of treatment is to restore circulation, relieve symptoms, preserve the affected limb, and improve quality of life.
Peripheral vascular surgery can help treat a wide range of vascular conditions, including:
Our vascular specialists carefully assess your condition and recommend the most suitable treatment plan based on your symptoms, overall health, and treatment goals.
Peripheral vascular disease often develops gradually. Many people do not notice symptoms in the early stages.
Common signs and symptoms include:
If left untreated, blocked arteries in the legs can lead to serious complications such as infections, gangrene, and amputation.
If you experience any of these symptoms, especially if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or a history of smoking, consult a vascular specialist promptly. Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent complications and improve outcomes.
The type of treatment recommended depends on the location and severity of the blockage.
Angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to open narrowed or blocked arteries. A small balloon is inserted through a catheter and inflated to widen the artery. In some cases, a stent may be placed to help keep the artery open and improve blood flow.
Atherectomy is a minimally invasive procedure that removes plaque buildup from the arteries using specialised devices. It may be recommended for selected patients with severe or heavily calcified blockages.
Endarterectomy involves removing plaque from the inner lining of the artery to restore blood flow.
Bypass surgery may be recommended when a blockage is extensive or cannot be treated using minimally invasive techniques.
During this procedure, the surgeon creates a new pathway for blood flow using a healthy blood vessel or a synthetic graft.
These procedures are used to remove or dissolve blood clots that block blood flow to the legs.
Our vascular specialists will recommend the most suitable treatment option based on your condition and overall health.
Recovery depends on the type of procedure performed and your overall health.
Many patients who undergo minimally invasive procedures can return home within a day or two. Recovery after bypass surgery may take longer.
Our experts will provide detailed guidance on wound care, medications, physical activity, and follow-up appointments.
Lifestyle changes play an important role in maintaining long-term results and reducing the risk of future blockages. Our experts may recommend:
With timely treatment and regular follow-up, many patients experience improved mobility, better wound healing, and a lower risk of complications.
Choosing the right hospital for vascular care is an important decision. At the CK Birla Hospitals, Jaipur, we combine advanced technology with compassionate care to provide treatment that is precise, personalised, and focused on your well-being.

With extensive experience in vascular and endovascular procedures, our specialists use evidence-based approaches to provide safe and effective care.
Our focus is not only on treating the underlying condition but also on preserving limbs, improving mobility, and enhancing quality of life.
We use advanced imaging and vascular diagnostic tools to accurately assess blood flow and identify blockages.
Our treatment options include minimally invasive endovascular procedures as well as advanced vascular surgeries.
Every patient's condition is different. That's why we take the time to understand your symptoms, overall health, and treatment goals before creating a personalised treatment plan that is right for you.
Our vascular specialists work closely with diabetologists, radiologists, wound care experts, physiotherapists, and other specialists to provide coordinated and comprehensive care under one roof.
Early diagnosis and timely treatment can help prevent serious complications such as non-healing wounds, gangrene, and amputation.
Our goal is to restore blood flow, preserve the affected limb, and help you return to your daily activities with confidence.
We understand that living with vascular disease can be physically and emotionally challenging. That's why our team supports you and your family throughout your journey with clear communication, guidance, and compassionate care.
Blocked arteries reduce blood flow to the legs, causing pain, slow-healing wounds, and mobility issues. They can also increase the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Yes. If left untreated, severe peripheral vascular disease can lead to tissue damage, non-healing ulcers, and, in some cases, amputation.
Your doctor may recommend tests such as an ankle-brachial index (ABI), Doppler ultrasound, CT angiography, or MR angiography to assess blood flow and identify blockages.
The procedure is performed under anaesthesia, so you will not feel pain during surgery. Mild discomfort during recovery can usually be managed with medication.
Yes. The condition can recur if risk factors such as smoking, high cholesterol, diabetes, or high blood pressure are not properly managed.
A heart-healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats can help improve vascular health and support healthy blood circulation.
