Peripheral vascular disease is a condition in which the blood vessels in the legs, far from the heart, become narrowed or blocked by blood clots (thrombi), and it can be a medical emergency. In serious cases, tissue in the leg can die and amputation may be necessary, so if your leg is severely swollen and painful, please consult a cardiology or vascular specialist immediately.2026-06-26
