Peripheral Aangioplasty surgery i India
Peripheral angiography and/or peripheral angiogram is a diagnostic study, not an operation, performed to look at the arterial blood flow from your lower abdomen and down each of your legs.
When injected, the contrast material mixes with the blood in the arteries allowing the doctor to visualize the blood flow through the arteries. The dye may cause some discomfort when injected throughout the legs. The contrast material is iodine-based: some people have a known allergy to iodine, shellfish, or x-ray dye. If you are one of these people, let your doctor know before the test. Medication can be given to prevent an allergic reaction.
The Cath Lab
Members of the Cath Lab staff will come to your room and introduce themselves when it is time for your procedure. You will be transported to the Cardiac Cath Lab. Your family is encouraged to accompany you to the floor where they will be directed to the waiting rooms and be regularly updated by the Cath Lab staff; the procedure will take 1 to 3 hours. The Cath Lab is kept cool because the large X-ray equipment and computers require cool air. You will be given warm blankets upon arrival and more blankets are available anytime during the procedure should you become cold...
Procedure
Your doctor will use a local anesthetic to numb your groin area at the insertion site. The doctor will then use a small needle to puncture the artery that runs down your leg. A short hollow tube called a sheath will then be placed into the artery. You may feel some pressure with the insertion of the sheath into your groin, but it should not be painful....
Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA)
Your doctor may recommend a PTA. A PTA procedure improves blood flow to your legs. This is done when an area of narrowing or plaque has been identified. Special supplies are used for this procedure, including a small wire to cross the area of plaque and a catheter with a balloon on the tip to inflate within the area of plaque. The wire and balloon catheters are positioned across the area of blockage and the balloon is inflated...
Stents
Your doctor may choose also to place a stent at the area of narrowing. A stent is a metal coil, slotted or mesh tube that is mounted on a balloon. When the balloon is inflated, the stent expands. When the balloon is deflated, the stent remains expanded, acting as scaffolding to hold the artery open. A stent is permanently in the artery; the lining of the artery will grow over the stent...
