Peripheral Angioplasty (Iliac artery / Femoral / infrapopliteal vessels)

Peripheral Angioplasty at Serenity Health Care

Restoring Blood Flow in Iliac, Femoral, and Infrapopliteal Arteries

Peripheral angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to restore blood flow in narrowed or blocked arteries supplying the limbs. At Serenity Health Care, we offer advanced peripheral angioplasty for the iliac arteries, femoral arteries, and infrapopliteal (below-the-knee) vessels, helping relieve symptoms, promote healing, and prevent limb-threatening complications.

Reduced blood flow to the lower limbs can cause pain, walking difficulty, non-healing wounds, and in severe cases, tissue loss. Timely peripheral angioplasty plays a crucial role in preserving mobility, improving quality of life, and preventing amputation.

Understanding Peripheral Arterial Disease

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) develops when plaque builds up inside arteries supplying the legs and pelvis, leading to reduced circulation. The iliac arteries supply blood to the pelvis and upper legs, the femoral arteries supply the thighs and legs, and the infrapopliteal vessels supply the lower legs and feet.

Blockages in these arteries may cause symptoms such as leg pain while walking (claudication), rest pain, cold or numb feet, skin discoloration, and non-healing ulcers—especially in individuals with diabetes or long-standing vascular disease.

When Is Peripheral Angioplasty Recommended

Peripheral angioplasty is recommended for patients with significant arterial narrowing or blockage causing symptoms or tissue damage. It is commonly advised for individuals with chronic limb ischemia, acute limb ischemia, diabetic foot ulcers, or non-healing wounds related to poor circulation.

Patients who do not respond adequately to medical therapy and lifestyle modification may benefit from angioplasty to restore blood flow and prevent disease progression.

What Peripheral Angioplasty Treats

Peripheral angioplasty at Serenity Health Care addresses blockages in:

  • Iliac arteries, improving blood flow to the pelvis and legs

  • Femoral arteries, restoring circulation to the thighs and lower limbs

  • Infrapopliteal vessels, critical for foot and wound healing

Treating these vessels helps relieve pain, improve walking ability, and support ulcer healing.

Peripheral Angioplasty Procedure Approach at Serenity Health Care

At Serenity Health Care, peripheral angioplasty begins with a thorough clinical assessment and review of angiographic findings. The procedure is performed in a well-equipped catheterization laboratory using advanced imaging guidance.

A thin catheter is guided to the narrowed artery, and a small balloon is inflated to widen the vessel. In some cases, a stent may be placed to keep the artery open and maintain blood flow. The procedure is carefully monitored to ensure safety and precision.

Following angioplasty, patients receive structured post-procedure care, including monitoring, medication guidance, and advice on activity and wound care when applicable. Most patients experience improved symptoms and faster recovery due to the minimally invasive nature of the procedure.
