Treatment for PAD

Treatment for Peripheral Vascular Disease has two major goals. The first is to manage your symptoms so that you are able to return to normal activity.  The second is to stop the progression of the disease throughout your body and reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke.  Treatment often includes a combination of lifestyle changes, medications, and interventions, all of which can be delivered by the specialist at Watertown Regional Medical Center Heart and Vascular Center.

We have some of the most advanced treatment for vascular disease offered in the region.
