Complications of Peripheral Vascular Disease
What Are the Complications of Peripheral Vascular Disease?
Complications of peripheral vascular disease most often occur because of decreased or absent blood flow. Such complications may include:
- Amputation (loss of a limb)
- Heart attack
- Poor wound healing
- Restricted mobility due to pain or discomfort with exertion
- Severe pain in the affected extremity
- Stroke (three times more likely in persons with PVD)
By following an aggressive treatment plan for peripheral vascular disease, complications such as these may be prevented.
