PVD
PVD is a disease of the blood vessels. Ignoring the symptoms leads to gangrene of the limbs and eventually loss of limb.

	Peripheral Arterial Disease
	Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) usually caused by atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries.

	Acute Limb Ischaemia
	Acute Limb Ischaemia occurs due to collateral supply in leg usually inadequate unless pre-existing occlusive disease.

	Buerger's Disease
	Buerger's Disease involves the small and medium-sized arteries. Frequently, it involves superficial veins of the extremities. Rarely, and in well advanced disease, it may involve vessels in other parts of the body. It is also known as Thromboangitis Obliterans
	Raynaud's Disease
	Raynaud's disease is a condition that affects the blood supply to the fingers, toes and occasionally the ears and nose. Other underlying diseases associated with Raynaud's are: connective tissue diseases, scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis lupus, vibration white finger, occlusive arterial disease, thoracic outlet syndrome, carpel tunnel syndrome.

Venous Disease

	Varicose Veins
	Varicose veins are long tortous, elongated veins. They cause pooling of blood in the legs. This leads to skin discolouration & itching. Eventually causing ulcer or bleeding.

	Sclerotherapy

	Leg Ulcer
	Leg ulcers are due to vascular insufficiency. It is important to find the cause of ulcer. If arterial insufficiency, then improve blood flow in the artery. If the cause is venous do corrective venous surgery. Different forms of dressings do play an important role in aiding ulcer healing.
