Peripheral Angioplasty & Vascular Interventions

What Is Peripheral Angioplasty and Vascular Intervention?

Peripheral angioplasty treats narrowed or blocked arteries outside the heart, most often in the legs. A thin catheter carries a balloon, stent, or atherectomy device to the diseased segment, restoring smooth blood flow and easing limb pain with only a small puncture in the groin or wrist.

Why Peripheral Angioplasty Matters?

Restoring circulation prevents limb loss, relieves walking pain, and boosts overall mobility.

  • Reopens blocked leg or arm arteries without open surgery
  • Stops lifestyle-limiting calf cramps known as claudication
  • Heals non-healing foot wounds by improving oxygen delivery
  • Lowers risk of amputation in critical limb ischemia
  • Allows same-day or next-day discharge for faster recovery

Our Peripheral Angioplasty Process

From first consult to final follow-up, we focus on clarity, safety, and quick return to activity.

  • Duplex ultrasound or CT angiogram for exact blockage mapping
  • Local anaesthetic and catheter insertion through wrist or groin
  • Balloon inflation, stent placement, or atherectomy as indicated
  • On-table imaging check confirming brisk blood flow
  • Two-hour observation, walking trial, and personalised discharge advice

Our Commitment to You

Pride Heart Institute is dedicated to keeping every step you take pain-free and secure. We partner with you to control risk factors, protect limb health, and maintain active living. Through transparent education, coordinated after-care, and round-the-clock support, our team ensures long-lasting circulation and renewed confidence in your mobility.

You receive local anaesthetic at the puncture site and mild sedation through an intravenous line. Most patients feel only light pressure during balloon inflation and mild bruising afterward, easily managed with over-the-counter pain medicine.

A straightforward single-segment treatment lasts forty to sixty minutes. Multi-level or heavily calcified lesions may add time, but the majority of patients leave the procedure room within ninety minutes.

You will take short assisted steps two hours after the procedure to ensure there is no bleeding at the access site. Most people resume regular walking distances within twenty-four hours and light exercise within one week.

Keep the access-site arm or leg clean and dry for two days and avoid lifting more than five kilograms for one week. Your care team provides tailored guidelines based on access route and stent placement.

You will take antiplatelet medicine, follow a supervised exercise program, and attend follow-up ultrasounds at one, six, and twelve months. Quitting tobacco and controlling diabetes are vital for keeping the artery open long term.
