Interventional
Peripheral Intervention
Treating blocked arteries in the legs, kidneys, and neck without surgery.
What it is
Peripheral angioplasty opens blocked arteries outside the heart — in the legs (causing pain on walking), kidneys (causing high BP), or carotid arteries (causing stroke risk).
When it's needed
- Severe leg pain on walking (claudication)
- Non-healing foot ulcers in diabetics
- Renal artery stenosis with uncontrolled BP
- Carotid artery disease with risk of stroke
How it's done
Similar technique to coronary angioplasty, using specialised balloons and stents sized for the target vessel.
Recovery
Usually a one-day hospital stay. Walking distance improves within days.
FAQ
Questions patients ask us most
Can diabetic foot ulcers be saved by angioplasty?+
Often, yes. Restoring blood supply is the single biggest factor in healing. Many limbs scheduled for amputation can be saved with timely intervention.
