PERIPHERAL ANGIOGRAM AND ANGIOPLASTY
There are occasions where block to the flow of blood can occur in the blood vessels supplying blood to the legs or arms. In such cases a very fine catheter is passed in to the lumen of that artery under fluoroscopic guidance and the block can be removed or by passed. Small stents may be placed to enable blood flow beyond the obstruction. Facilities are available at SB Hospital for The imaging and locating the exact site and extent of the obstruction in the blood vessels. Specially qualified vascular surgeons carry out these procedures and save the limbs of the patients from amputation.
