Peripheral Angioplasty and Stenting in Kota

Peripheral Angioplasty and Stenting is an advanced minimally invasive endovascular procedure performed to clear blocked or narrowed arteries supplying blood to the lower extremities (iliac, femoral, popliteal, and tibial arteries) as well as the renal and subclavian arteries. At Shri Vinayak Hospital Kota, Senior Interventional Cardiologist Dr. Bhupendra Bathla provides expert limb-salvage catheter interventions.

Limb Salvage for Diabetic & Vascular Patients

Severe Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) can lead to non-healing foot ulcers, severe rest pain, gangrene, and limb amputation. Peripheral angioplasty restores downstream arterial blood perfusion, promoting ulcer healing and relieving debilitating leg pain.

Procedure Steps:

• Vascular Access: Under local anesthesia, access is gained through the femoral artery in the groin.
• Lesion Crossing & Angioplasty: Specialized hydrophilic wires cross the chronic blockage, followed by specialized peripheral balloons to open the lumen.
• Self-Expanding Stent Placement: Flexible, crush-resistant Nitinol (nickel-titanium) stents are deployed to keep the artery permanently patent under the mechanical stresses of walking.

Comprehensive Vascular Assessment

Initial diagnosis is established through Peripheral Angiography and Doppler flow studies. Most patients recover quickly and walk comfortably within 24 hours of stenting.
