Peripheral Angioplasty & Stenting

Peripheral Angioplasty in Yeshwanthpur

Peripheral angioplasty and stenting are minimally invasive procedures to restore blood flow in narrowed or blocked arteries outside the heart, primarily in the legs, arms, and abdomen. Peripheral artery disease (PAD), often caused by atherosclerosis, leads to plaque buildup in the arteries, restricting circulation and causing symptoms like leg pain, cramping, numbness, and slow-healing wounds. If untreated, PAD can progress to critical limb ischaemia, increasing the risk of ulcers, gangrene, and limb amputation. In angioplasty, a catheter with a balloon tip is inserted through a small incision in the groin or wrist and guided to the affected artery. The balloon is inflated to widen the narrowed section, restoring blood flow. In cases where the artery remains unstable or prone to re-narrowing, a stent—a small mesh tube—is placed to keep the vessel open.

This procedure effectively improves mobility, reduces pain, and prevents complications in PAD patients. Peripheral angioplasty and stenting are also used for renal artery stenosis, mesenteric ischaemia, and carotid artery disease to reduce stroke risk. Compared to open surgery, these interventions have lower risks, shorter recovery times, and minimal scarring. Most patients experience immediate symptom relief and can resume daily activities within days. Post-procedure care includes lifestyle modifications, medication to prevent clot formation, and regular follow-ups to monitor artery health. Advanced techniques like drug-coated balloons and stents help reduce restenosis, ensuring long-term effectiveness. At Manipal Hospital, Yeshwanthpur, our interventional radiology team specialises in state-of-the-art peripheral vascular interventions, ensuring optimal outcomes for patients with vascular diseases.

Below are the key procedures under peripheral angioplasty and stenting:

  • Balloon Angioplasty: Expands narrowed arteries using a high-pressure balloon to restore circulation.

  • Stent Placement: Inserts a metal mesh tube to keep arteries open and prevent re-narrowing.

  • Drug-Coated Balloon Angioplasty: Uses medicated balloons to reduce restenosis and prolong artery health.

  • Carotid Artery Stenting: Prevents stroke by stabilising narrowed carotid arteries supplying the brain.

  • Renal Artery Angioplasty: Improves kidney function by restoring blood flow in narrowed renal arteries.

  • Mesenteric Artery Stenting: Treats intestinal ischaemia by opening blocked arteries supplying the digestive tract.
