Peripheral Angiogram treatment in Sarjapur Road

Peripheral arterial disease, also called peripheral arterial stenosis, occurs when your arteries narrow, reducing blood flow to your limbs.

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) results in inadequate blood flow to your extremities, usually your legs. Most notably, walking causes leg pain. Fat deposits will also likely accumulate in your arteries if you have peripheral artery disease. Your heart and brain may suffer from this condition and your legs.

There are several signs and symptoms associated with PAD:

During certain activities, such as walking or climbing stairs, you may experience painful cramps in your hips, thighs, or calves.

  • Weakness or numbness in the legs.

  • The lower leg or foot is cold, particularly compared to the other side.

  • Unhealed toe, foot, or leg sores.

  • You may notice a change in the colour of your legs.

  • Hair loss may occur on your feet and legs, and slower hair growth.

  • Toenails grow more slowly.

  • Legs with a shiny finish.

  • Legs or feet without a pulse or with a weak pulse.

  • The problem of erectile dysfunction in men.

Causes and risk factors

You are more likely to develop peripheral artery disease if you have the following factors:

  • Taking up smoking

  • Having diabetes

  • The presence of obesity (a body mass index over 30)

  • High blood pressure

  • Cholesterol is high

  • The ageing process, especially after the age of 50

  • Heart disease, stroke, or peripheral artery disease in the family.

Smokers and diabetics are most likely to develop peripheral artery disease because of reduced blood flow.

Treatment Procedures

There are two primary goals in treating peripheral artery disease:

Manage symptoms like leg pain so that you can resume physical activity.

You can prevent heart attacks and strokes by preventing the progression of atherosclerosis throughout your body.

When peripheral artery disease is detected early, lifestyle changes may help you achieve these goals. You can decrease your risk of problems by quitting smoking if you smoke.

You will likely need additional medical treatment if you have symptoms or signs of peripheral artery disease. You can also control pain and other symptoms with medicine prescribed by your healthcare provider. Book an appointment to have the best treatment.

Angioplasty and stent placement

The purpose of angioplasty is to open clogged arteries. An angioplasty uses a tiny balloon catheter to widen a blocked blood vessel and improve blood flow.

Stents are tiny wire mesh tubes often placed along with an angioplasty. Keeping the open artery decreases the stent's chances of narrowing again. Your route is held open by medication coated on most stents. Visit our vascular surgery hospital in Bangalore for the best treatment.

Atherectomy

Atherectomies are procedures that remove plaque from blocked or clogged arteries. Removing the plaque makes the route wider, allowing blood to flow more freely.

It is possible to perform an atherectomy if the patient has hard plaque or has already undergone an angioplasty or stent placement.
