Peripheral vascular disease

Peripheral vascular disease is a broad circulatory disorder characterized by impaired blood flow through vessels located outside the heart and brain, predominantly affecting the systemic arterial, venous, or lymphatic vasculature of the lower extremities Most commonly manifested as peripheral arterial disease driven by chronic atherosclerosis, it involves progressive luminal narrowing, structural damage, or functional spasm that reduces tissue perfusion
