Peripheral Angioplasty
Restoring blood flow to the legs to relieve cramping and protect the limb.
Overview
Peripheral angioplasty reopens narrowed or blocked arteries supplying the legs, treating claudication, rest pain, and non-healing wounds. Balloon, drug-coated, and stent techniques restore circulation, relieve pain, and protect the limb from amputation.
Procedure Details
- Balloon angioplasty of iliac, femoral, or below-knee arteries.
- Stent or drug-coated balloon options tailored to each lesion.
- Crossing chronic occlusions with specialized guidewires.
- Completion angiography to confirm restored flow.
Who It Is Recommended For
- Intermittent claudication that limits daily activity.
- Critical limb ischemia with rest pain.
- Non-healing diabetic or ischemic ulcers.
- Failing vascular bypass grafts.
