Peripheral Balloon and Stent Angioplasty Treatment
Dr. Aakash Patel is a highly skilled Vascular and Interventional Radiologist in Ahmedabad who specializes in treating conditions like Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD). PAD occurs when the blood vessels in the legs become narrow or blocked due to the build-up of fatty deposits called plaque. This narrowing restricts blood flow to the legs, leading to symptoms like leg pain, cramping, and numbness, especially during physical activity. Dr. Patel uses advanced imaging techniques and minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat PAD effectively, improving blood flow and relieving symptoms for his patients.
Dr. Aakash Patel treats patients with PAD in regaining mobility and quality of life by thoroughly assessing each patient's condition and creating personalized treatment programs. Through his expertise in vascular and interventional radiology, he offers innovative solutions to manage PAD, such as angioplasty, stenting, and other minimally invasive procedures that restore blood flow to the legs. Dr. Patel is a well-known expert in treating PAD and assisting patients in achieving improved vascular health and general well-being because of his kind temperament and commitment to patient care.
Symptoms of Peripheral Arterial
- Coldness in the lower leg or foot
- Leg numbness or weakness
- No pulse or a weak pulse in the legs or feet
- Painful cramping in one or both of the hips
- Shiny skin on the legs
- Skin color changes on the legs
- Erectile dysfunction
- Hair loss or slower hair growth on the legs
What is Peripheral Balloon and Stent Angioplasty Treatment
Dr. Aakash Patel specializes in treating Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) using a procedure called Peripheral Balloon and Stent Angioplasty. This involves inserting a catheter with a balloon to open up blocked arteries, improving blood flow. Following the angioplasty, Dr. Patel may place a small metal stent in the artery to help keep it open and maintain proper blood flow. This minimally invasive approach helps patients with PAD regain mobility and alleviate symptoms like leg pain and cramping, ultimately improving their vascular health and overall quality of life.
How We Process
Dr. Aakash Patel provides Peripheral Balloon and Stent Angioplasty , a minimally invasive outpatient procedure. This treatment usually takes less than an hour, allowing patients to go home the same day without the need for an overnight hospital stay.
Here's what to expect during your Peripheral Balloon and Stent Angioplasty treatment for Peripheral Arterial :
- Upon arrival, you'll be provided with a comfortable hospital gown and positioned on the exam table, which will be adjusted for optimal access to the treatment area. Special protective measures will be taken to ensure your safety and comfort.
- Dr. Patel will begin by administering a local anesthetic to numb the treatment area. Using advanced imaging technology, he will carefully locate the affected area before and during the procedure to ensure precision.
- A small incision will be made, usually near the affected vein, to access the blood vessels. Through this incision, a catheter will be inserted and guided to the targeted area where the clot is located.
- Once the catheter is in place, contrast dye will be injected to highlight the veins and identify any blockages or abnormalities. This process, known as Peripheral Balloon and Stent Angioplasty, helps to accurately visualize the affected area.
- After the procedure, you may experience some discomfort, which can be managed with medication. You'll be monitored for a few hours before being discharged home with instructions for follow-up care.
