    Temple University Hospital is the first in the Philadelphia region to offer an innovative new treatment for peripheral artery disease (PAD), a life-threatening condition that affects millions of Americans.

Non-cardiac chest pain can be frightening for patients and result in visits to the emergency room because the painful symptoms, while often originating in the esophagus, can mimic a heart attack. Current treatment — which includes pain modulators such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) — has a partial 40 to 50 percent response rate in alleviating symptoms.
