Peripheral Angioplasty

Overview

Peripheral Angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure performed to open blocked or narrowed arteries in areas other than the heart—commonly in the legs, arms, or neck. At Dr. Sreedhar Babu’s Cardiology Center, we offer state-of-the-art Peripheral Angioplasty services to restore healthy blood flow, relieve pain, and prevent serious complications such as tissue damage or amputation.

Understanding Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)

Peripheral Artery Disease occurs when fatty deposits (plaques) build up in the arteries, restricting blood flow to limbs and other vital areas.

Common Symptoms of PAD

Leg Pain & Cramping

Pain or cramping in the legs during walking or exercise that improves with rest.

Numbness & Coldness

Numbness, weakness, or coldness in the lower limbs due to reduced circulation.

Slow-Healing Wounds

Slow-healing wounds or ulcers on the feet or toes caused by poor blood supply.

Skin Discoloration

Discoloration or shiny skin on the legs indicating reduced blood flow.

Dr. Sreedhar Babu, an experienced Interventional Cardiologist, specializes in diagnosing and treating PAD using advanced imaging and minimally invasive angioplasty techniques.
