La enfermedad de las arterias periféricas ocurre cuando las placas hechas de sustancias grasas, colesterol y productos de desecho se depositan dentro de las paredes de las arterias, lo que disminuye el flujo sanguíneo. A veces llamado obstrucción o endurecimiento de las arterias, esto puede afectar las arterias del corazón, el cerebro, las piernas, los riñones y otros órganos.
