Peripheral vascular intervention (PVI) are procedures used to treat peripheral artery disease (PAD) or atherosclerosis. The goal of PVI is to restore blood flow to the lower extremities. This restoration eliminates pain, numbness, and the need for limb amputation. Since PVI procedures are catheter-based and minimally invasive, patients who receive treatment often experience faster recovery times and fewer risks.
Peripheral artery disease (also called peripheral arterial disease) is a common condition in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the arms or legs. In peripheral artery disease (PAD), the legs or arms — usually the legs — don't receive enough blood flow to keep up with demand.
