It’s important to know what risk factors for artery disease you can control, and the ones you can’t.
Two of the main vascular diseases that Dr. Stout specializes in are Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA) and Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD).
Serving patients from all over Northwest Arkansas, we help people from Bentonville, Springdale, Fayetteville, and beyond.
The most common risk factors for arterial disease include:
- High cholesterol and triglyceride levels
- High blood pressure
- Smoking
- Type 1 diabetes
- Family history
- Age
- Obesity
- Physical inactivity
- High saturated fat diet
Unfortunately, PCP’s often overlook signs and symptoms of arterial disease. Knowing what to look for can save your life.
Symptoms of Arterial Disease often include:
- Decreased lower leg temperature
- Difficulty ambulating or pain while walking
- Toe or foot wounds that will not heal or heal very slowly
- The change of your skin color on your legs to purple or blue
- Gangrene
- Thin, shiny skin
- Hair loss on your legs

Angioplasty & Stenting
When plaque and cholesterol build up in the arteries, the best approach often includes angioplasty & stenting procedures. An angioplasty can be done to expand an artery and clear out the build up causing blockages, allowing blood to flow normally again. Stenting may be combined with an angioplasty, to permanently hold open an artery with a tiny mesh tube.
Angioplasty and StentingArterial Atherectomy
Atherectomies are a common approach for removing atherosclerosis from arteries, allowing blood to flow normally again.
