When femoral artery disease (FAD) and peripheral artery disease (PAD) are discussed, there seems to be some misunderstanding. Let's put that right. The primary artery that supplies blood to the tissues in the leg is the femoral artery. It travels parallel to the femur via the deep tissues of the leg's thigh area. Your calf muscles require an increased blood and oxygen flow while you walk. The condition is known as intermittent claudication when it is impaired. It is brought on by the leg's arteries or blood vessels constricting. From here on, we shall refer to any illnesses that affect the circulatory system together as peripheral artery disease, or PAD. The most typical location for PAD is the lower body, especially the muscles in the legs, calves, thighs, hips, and buttocks. It is a chronic condition in which atherosclerosis-related plaque accumulation makes it challenging for blood to flow through the arteries. When blood flow in the arteries is entirely obstructed, PAD progresses. When plaque breaks off and enters the circulation, serious blood clots may develop. It is depressing to hear the phrase "blood clot" used in relation to your vascular health.
