Interventional cardiology (IC)

Angioplasty is a medical procedure used to unblock or widen narrowed blood vessels that provide blood flow to the heart. To treat peripheral artery disease (PAD) and its symptoms of pain, cramping, and ulcers in the extremities, a combination of techniques is used. First, a balloon is inflated within the narrowed or blocked artery to widen it and improve blood flow. Then, a stent—similar to a small mesh tube—is inserted to keep the vessel open and prevent re-narrowing. This procedure, known as peripheral angioplasty, has been proven essential in managing PAD and significantly enhancing patients’ mobility and quality of life by improving blood circulation. Additionally, it lowers the risk of severe complications associated with impaired peripheral circulation.

Coronary Angioplasty
Coronary Angioplasty

Minimally invasive procedure used to open blocked coronary arteries and restore blood flow to the heart.

Coronary Stenting
Coronary Stenting

Placement of a small mesh tube (stent) inside a coronary artery to keep it open after angioplasty.

Atherectomy
Atherectomy

A procedure that removes plaque from a blood vessel using a rotating shaver or laser to improve blood flow.
