Peripheral Angioplasty: Advanced Treatment for Peripheral Artery Disease by Dr. Gautam Naik
Introduction
Peripheral angioplasty is a specialized procedure designed to treat blockages or narrowing in the peripheral arteries, which supply blood to the limbs. This advanced technique helps restore proper blood flow and relieve symptoms associated with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD).
Dr. Gautam Naik, a distinguished Senior Consultant Interventional and Structural
Cardiologist in Delhi, offers expert care in performing peripheral angioplasty, providing effective solutions for patients suffering from PAD.
What is Peripheral Angioplasty?
Peripheral angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to open blocked or narrowed arteries in the arms, legs, or other peripheral regions. The goal is to improve blood flow and alleviate symptoms such as pain, cramping, or weakness in the affected limbs. The procedure is commonly used when lifestyle changes or medications are not sufficient to manage PAD.
How Peripheral Angioplasty Works
- Procedure Overview:
- During the procedure, a catheter is inserted into a small incision, typically in the groin or arm, and guided through the blood vessels to the site of the blockage.
- A balloon at the tip of the catheter is inflated to compress the plaque against the artery walls, widening the vessel and improving blood flow.
- A stent may be placed to keep the artery open and ensure long-term effectiveness of the treatment.
- Benefits of Peripheral Angioplasty:
- Enhanced Blood Flow: Restores proper blood flow to the affected limbs, reducing symptoms and improving overall function.
- Minimally Invasive: Compared to traditional surgery, peripheral angioplasty involves less risk, shorter recovery time, and minimal scarring.
- Effective Symptom Relief: Alleviates pain and discomfort caused by PAD, allowing patients to return to their daily activities with greater ease.
