SOUTH TEXAS’ MOST EXPERIENCED VASCULAR SURGEON

JEFFREY M. MARTINEZ, MD

Superior vascular healthcare right in the heart of San Antonio

Dr. Jeffrey Martinez, one of South Texas’ most experienced vascular surgeons, leads our team with unparalleled expertise and dedication. Dr. Martinez specializes in both traditional open surgery and minimally invasive treatments, offering personalized care to restore blood flow and improve vascular health.

We specialize in treating Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD), a condition that affects millions of people. PAD occurs when narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the limbs, leading to symptoms like leg pain, cramping, and difficulty walking.

Our clinic offers advanced treatments for PAD, including minimally invasive procedures, lifestyle modifications, and education on managing risk factors. We believe that early detection and intervention are crucial to preventing complications such as amputation. We provide comprehensive solutions and our team is dedicated to providing high-quality care and helping you regain your mobility and quality of life.

Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is a circulatory condition that affects the blood flow to the limbs, particularly the legs. It is caused by atherosclerosis, or plaque buildup, that reduces the flow of blood in peripheral arteries. It is often characterized by weak or missing pulses in the affected areas. PAD is diagnosed through various tests, including blood tests, Ankle-brachial index (ABI), ultrasound, and angiography. These tests help in identifying conditions related to PAD such as high cholesterol, high triglycerides, and diabetes.

Risks of PAD

Smoking: The single biggest PAD risk factor that is in your control. It raises your risk for PAD by 400% compared to nonsmokers.

Age: Particularly those older than 60.

Diabetes: Increases the likelihood of PAD.

High Cholesterol: Contributes to arterial plaque.

High Blood Pressure: Makes arteries stiff and hard.

Obesity: Excess weight is a known risk factor

Symptoms of PAD

Leg Weakness: Fatigue while walking, especially in the legs.

Color Changes: Changes in the color of your legs.

Temperature Difference: One leg may feel colder than the other.

Hair Loss: Loss of hair on your legs.

Skin Changes: Shiny skin on your legs or skin that looks pale or kind of blue.

Non-healing Wounds: Wounds or sores on your toes or feet that don’t heal well.
