Peripheral Artery Disease includes Aortoiliac Disease, Carotid Artery Disease, Lower Extremity Disease, Upper Extremity Disease, Renal Artery Disease.
Aortoiliac disease, sometimes called aortoiliac occlusive disease, refers to disorders of the two major blood vessels that feed the lower half of the body—the aorta and the iliac artery.
Carotid artery disease is a condition in which the arteries in the neck that carry blood to the brain become blocked.
Lower extremity disease is a condition in which a medium-size or large artery that supplies oxygen-rich blood to the legs and feet becomes partially or completely blocked.
Upper extremity disease is a condition in which an artery that supplies blood to the arms, hands, and fingers becomes partially or completely blocked.
Renal artery disease is a condition in which an artery leading to one or both of the kidneys becomes blocked.
