Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) refers to diseases of the blood vessels (arteries and veins) located outside the heart and brain.

The terms Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) or Peripheral Arterial Occlusion (PAO) refer to conditions specific to the arteries and includes conditions that develop when the arteries that supply blood to the internal organs, arms, and legs become completely or partially blocked as a result of the build up of clot or plaque.

The term Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) refers to a condition specific to the veins of the legs or arms, that develop when they become partially or completely blocked as a result of the buildup of clot.
