Get Relief from PAD with Endovascular Cryoplasty

Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) affects millions of people worldwide, causing pain and limiting mobility. If you’re experiencing symptoms of PAD, such as leg pain, cramping, or numbness, it’s essential to seek effective treatment to restore your quality of life. At the practice of Dr. Alan Benvenisty, MD, in NYC, we offer innovative solutions, including endovascular cryoplasty, to provide relief from PAD and help you regain your mobility and comfort.

Symptoms of PAD

Peripheral Arterial Disease is a common circulatory problem in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the limbs. PAD is primarily caused by atherosclerosis, the buildup of fatty deposits in the artery walls. Reduced blood flow can lead to symptoms such as:

• Leg Pain and Cramping: Often occurring during physical activity and easing with rest, this pain is known as claudication.
• Numbness and Weakness: Affected limbs may feel numb or weak due to inadequate blood flow.
• Coldness in the Lower Leg or Foot, Particularly in comparison to the other leg.
• Sores that Won’t Heal: Persistent sores or wounds on the feet or legs are common in advanced PAD.

PAD can significantly impact your quality of life, making everyday activities challenging. If left untreated, PAD can lead to severe complications, including critical limb ischemia and an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. Therefore, seeking timely and effective treatment is crucial.

What is Endovascular Cryoplasty?

Endovascular cryoplasty is an advanced, minimally invasive procedure designed to treat PAD by addressing the underlying artery blockages. This innovative technique combines angioplasty with cryotherapy to improve blood flow and alleviate symptoms.

During endovascular cryoplasty, a specialized balloon catheter is inserted into the affected artery. The balloon is then inflated and cooled with nitrous oxide, causing the fatty deposits to freeze and expand. This process helps to:

• Widen the Artery: The freezing and expansion break up plaque deposits and widen the artery to improve blood flow.
• Reduce Restenosis Risk: Cryotherapy’s unique cooling effect helps minimize the risk of restenosis or re-narrowing of the artery, which is a common issue with traditional angioplasty.

Endovascular cryoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure requiring only a small incision. This approach reduces recovery time and minimizes the risk of complications compared to traditional open surgeries. Patients undergoing endovascular cryoplasty often experience significant relief from PAD symptoms, including reduced pain and improved mobility. Enhanced blood flow helps restore function and comfort to the affected limbs.
