Peripheral Angioplasty / Stenting

Peripheral Angioplasty / Stenting

Peripheral Angioplasty and Stenting is a minimally invasive procedure designed to restore blood flow in narrowed or blocked arteries outside the heart, commonly in the legs, arms, or kidneys. Blockages in these arteries can cause pain, fatigue, or numbness in the limbs and, if left untreated, may lead to serious complications. Dr. Vaibhav Shukla performs this procedure with advanced expertise, ensuring precise treatment and improved circulation.

Symptoms That May Require Peripheral Angioplasty

This procedure is often recommended for patients experiencing:

• Pain or cramping in legs or arms during activity (claudication)

• Numbness or weakness in limbs

• Non-healing sores or ulcers on hands or feet

• Cold or discolored extremities

• Fatigue or reduced mobility due to poor circulation
  Timely intervention helps prevent long-term complications and restores normal blood flow.

Treatment and Process

During the procedure, a thin catheter is inserted into the affected artery, usually through the groin or wrist. A small balloon at the tip of the catheter is inflated to widen the artery, and a stent may be placed to keep it open. The procedure is guided by imaging to ensure accurate placement. Most patients experience quick recovery and can return to normal activities within a few days. Dr. Vaibhav Shukla carefully monitors the procedure to ensure safety, precision, and effective results.
