Peripheral angioplasty is an advanced procedure that is performed to treat the conditions and ailments of the peripheral artery in the lower limbs. It aims at restoring the healthy flow of blood by clearing the obstruction, or stenosis. This is mostly caused by plaque accumulation, which refers to fat build-up.

Procedure
- The procedure is performed under the influence of sedatives, to make sure that you do not feel any pain and discomfort.
- A blood-thinning medication is administered to avoid the risks of clotting

- A dye may be injected into the patient's body for better visibility during x-rays.
- The catheter fitted with a balloon on one of its ends is guided towards the affected area.
- Once it is in position, the balloon is inflated to open the obstruction.
