Peripheral Angioplasty

Peripheral angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to open narrowed or blocked blood vessels outside the heart, restoring healthy blood flow to the brain, kidneys, abdomen, and limbs. It is an effective, catheter-based alternative to open surgery for treating peripheral artery disease.

Key Peripheral Angioplasty Treatments We Offer

Carotid Angioplasty: Opens narrowed carotid arteries in the neck that supply blood to the brain, helping reduce the risk of stroke.
Renal Angioplasty: Treats narrowed kidney arteries that cause uncontrolled high blood pressure or reduced kidney function.
Abdominal Vessel Angioplasty: Restores blood flow in blocked abdominal arteries, relieving pain and improving organ blood supply.
Lower Limb Angioplasty: Opens blocked leg arteries to relieve pain, cramping, and non-healing wounds caused by poor circulation.

Why Peripheral Angioplasty Is Important

Restores blood flow to affected organs and limbs.
Reduces the risk of stroke from carotid blockages.
Helps control blood pressure linked to renal artery narrowing.
Relieves leg pain and prevents non-healing wounds.
Offers a minimally invasive alternative to open surgery.

Common Symptoms That Need Evaluation

Leg pain or cramping while walking (claudication).
Numbness or coldness in the foot or lower leg.
Slow-healing wounds on the leg or foot.
Uncontrolled high blood pressure despite medication.
Dizziness or symptoms suggestive of reduced blood flow to the brain.

Benefits of Peripheral Angioplasty

Minimally invasive with faster recovery than surgery.
Improved circulation and reduced pain.
Lower risk of stroke, limb loss, and organ damage.
Shorter hospital stay and quicker return to daily life.
Better long-term vascular health.

Consult our specialists to evaluate carotid, renal, abdominal vessel, or lower limb blockages. Early treatment with peripheral angioplasty helps prevent stroke, limb complications, and organ damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is carotid angioplasty used for?

Carotid angioplasty opens narrowed carotid arteries in the neck that supply blood to the brain, helping reduce the risk of stroke caused by restricted blood flow.

When is renal artery angioplasty required?

Renal artery angioplasty is required when narrowed kidney arteries cause uncontrolled high blood pressure or reduced kidney function, restoring blood flow to the kidneys.

What are the signs of peripheral artery disease in the legs?

Common signs include leg pain or cramping while walking, numbness, coldness in the lower leg or foot, and slow-healing wounds, which may indicate blockages requiring lower limb angioplasty.

Is peripheral angioplasty a major surgery?

No, peripheral angioplasty is a minimally invasive, catheter-based procedure performed through a small puncture, and most patients recover quickly compared to open surgical alternatives.

What vessels can be treated with peripheral angioplasty?

Peripheral angioplasty can treat blockages in the carotid arteries, renal arteries, abdominal vessels, and lower limb arteries, restoring healthy blood flow to the affected area.
