Angioplasty, Stenting, and Bypass Surgery
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is a common condition that occurs when the blood vessels in the limbs become narrowed or blocked. This restricts blood flow to the legs, causing pain, cramping, and, if untreated, can lead to more serious complications such as gangrene or limb loss. Dr. Vinay Kumar K offers advanced treatments for PAD, including angioplasty, stenting, and bypass surgery.
Treatment Options:
- Angioplasty: A minimally invasive procedure where a balloon is inserted into the blocked artery to widen it and restore blood flow.
- Stenting: A small mesh tube (stent) is placed in the artery to keep it open after angioplasty.
- Bypass Surgery: A surgical option used when angioplasty or stenting is not effective, creating a new route for blood flow around the blocked artery.
