Peripheral Angioplasty

Angioplasty is a procedure that uses a catheter and a balloon to open up blocked arteries.
Stenting happens after angioplasty during which your surgeon inserts a small metal device in the artery. The stent helps keep the artery open and improves blood flow.

In addition to these treatment methods, your surgeon may use a device that removes the plaque in a process called atherectomy
