Peripheral Angiogram with Intervention

A peripheral angiogram with intervention is a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure used to evaluate and treat conditions affecting the blood vessels outside the heart and brain, typically in the legs or arms. During the procedure, a contrast dye is injected into the arteries, allowing the surgeon to visualize any blockages or abnormalities in the blood vessels using X-ray imaging techniques. The intervention part of the procedure involves treating any identified blockages or narrowing in the blood vessels. This can include techniques such as angioplasty, where a balloon is inflated to widen a narrowed artery, and the placement of stents to help keep the artery open. Vascular surgeons often perform peripheral angiograms with intervention because they specialize in treating diseases of the blood vessels, including those outside the heart and brain. Conditions such as peripheral artery disease (PAD), which involves narrowing of the arteries in the limbs, can lead to symptoms like leg pain, numbness, or weakness, and can potentially lead to more serious complications like tissue damage or limb loss if left untreated. By performing peripheral angiograms with intervention, vascular surgeons can diagnose and treat these conditions, helping to improve blood flow and alleviate symptoms, and potentially preventing more severe complications.
