Peripheral Angiogram / Angioplasty in Guntur

A Peripheral Angiogram in Guntur is a medical imaging procedure that is typically performed to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the peripheral arteries, which are the blood vessels that supply blood to the legs, arms, and organs. The procedure is usually recommended in the following situations:

  1. Suspected blockages
  2. Peripheral artery disease: Patients with peripheral artery disease, which is a condition characterized by the narrowing or blockage of peripheral arteries, may require a peripheral angiogram to assess the extent of the damage and determine the best course of treatment.
  3. Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) maintenance
  4. Interventions: Peripheral angiograms are also used to guide interventional procedures such as angioplasty and stenting, which are used to treat blockages in the peripheral arteries.

Peripheral angioplasty:

Peripheral angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure by Peripheral Angioplasty Specialist in Guntur that is typically performed to treat blockages or narrowing of the peripheral arteries, which are the blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood to the arms, legs, and other organs. The procedure is usually recommended when lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, and medication are not effective in managing symptoms.

Steps for a peripheral angioplasty:

  1. The patient is given local anesthesia to numb the area.
  2. A small incision is made in the skin, and a thin tube called a catheter is inserted into the blocked artery.
  3. The catheter is guided through the artery to the blockage using X-ray imaging.
  4. A balloon is inflated at the blockage site to compress and widen the artery.
  5. A stent may be placed at the blockage site to keep the artery open.
  6. The catheter is removed, and the incision is closed.

Peripheral artery disease treatment in Guntur can help relieve symptoms of PAD, improve circulation, and reduce the risk of complications such as gangrene or amputation.
