Peripheral Angioplasty

Overview:

Peripheral Angioplasty is a procedure that opens narrowed or blocked arteries outside the heart – usually in the legs or arms. It improves blood flow, reduces leg pain, and helps in healing foot wounds caused by poor circulation.

Benefits:

Relieves pain in legs while walking
Improves wound healing
Reduces the risk of amputation
Minimally invasive and quick recovery

Process:

A small tube (catheter) is inserted into the blocked artery.
A balloon is inflated to widen the artery.
A stent may be placed to keep it open.
You can usually go home the same day.

FAQs:

Q1. Who needs Peripheral Angioplasty?
People with leg pain, wounds that don’t heal, or diagnosed peripheral artery disease (PAD).

Q2. How soon can I walk after the procedure?
Most patients can walk within a few hours.

Q3. Are there risks?
Risks are very low; mild bruising at the insertion site is most common.
