Angioplasty Peripheral and Peripheral Angiography are essential procedures for diagnosing and treating blockages in the peripheral arteries, which can lead to conditions such as peripheral artery disease (PAD). Peripheral Angiography is a diagnostic imaging technique that uses a contrast dye and X-rays to visualize the arteries and identify any blockages or narrowing.
Angioplasty Peripheral, on the other hand, is a minimally invasive treatment where a balloon catheter is inserted into the narrowed artery and inflated to open up the vessel, often followed by the placement of a stent to keep the artery open.
These procedures are safe and effective, especially when performed using advanced techniques and devices. At Medanta's Division of Vascular & Endovascular Sciences, special closure devices are used to seal the artery puncture site quickly, ensuring patient safety and comfort. This innovation allows patients to resume all normal activities just a few hours after the procedure, eliminating the need for prolonged bed rest.
Medanta Hospital also offers CO2 Angiography, a special technique using carbon dioxide instead of traditional contrast dye. This method is particularly safe for patients with kidney disease or poor heart function, as it reduces the risk of complications associated with contrast agents. With their state-of-the-art facilities and highly experienced team, Medanta provides top-tier care for patients undergoing peripheral angioplasty and angiography.
