If untreated, PAD can progress into advanced PAD, also known as CLI. Advanced PAD is a severe blockage in the arteries of the legs or feet that significantly reduces blood flow. At this stage, legs or feet may develop painful sores, ulcers and/or gangrene due to lack of oxygen. The pain may be severe and can last for hours—even while you’re at rest.
