Enhancing Blood Flow with Peripheral Artery Stenting
Peripheral Artery Stenting Is a minimally invasive procedure that plays a crucial role in improving blood flow and restoring health to individuals with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). This condition occurs when arteries outside the heart, particularly those in the legs and arms, become narrow or blocked due to a buildup of plaque. The primary objective of this activity is to open up these narrowed blood vessels, allowing for better circulation and reducing symptoms such as pain, cramping, and numbness. During the procedure, a small, flexible tube called a catheter is inserted into the affected artery. Through the catheter, a stent—a tiny mesh-like device—is carefully placed at the site of the blockage. Once in position, the stent expands, pushing against the artery walls and effectively widening the vessel, restoring proper blood flow. The stent remains in place, providing long-term support and preventing the artery from narrowing again. it has proven to be a safe and effecti...
