A PVR study is a noninvasive vascular test in which blood pressure cuffs and a hand-held ultrasound device (called a Doppler or transducer) are used to obtain information about arterial blood flow in the arms and legs. Noninvasive means the procedure does not require the use of needles, dyes, radiation or anesthesia. The blood pressure cuffs and Doppler are used to determine the presence, severity and general location of peripheral arterial occlusive disease.

More...Peripheral artery disease (PAD) sometimes known as peripheral vascular disease (PVD), is a blockage of arteries in a limb, usually the leg. The blockage is most often the result of a chronic buildup of hard, fatty material (atherosclerosis) inside the artery walls. This narrows the artery and prevents oxygen and nutrients from getting to the limb.

A stent is a mesh tube placed inside an artery to hold it open. If performed, stenting takes place just after the angioplasty balloon is used.
More...Atherectomy is the process of removing some of the plaque from a blockage. If performed, it takes place just before the angioplasty balloon is used.
More...An atherectomy is a procedure that utilizes a catheter with a sharp blade on the end to remove plaque from a blood vessel. The catheter is inserted into the artery through a small puncture in the artery
