Who is this surgery for?
- Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) causing leg pain, non-healing wounds, or gangrene.
- Carotid artery stenosis (narrowing) to prevent stroke.
- Aortic aneurysms (abdominal or thoracic) to prevent rupture.
- Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) or Pulmonary Embolism (PE).
- Renal artery stenosis causing high blood pressure or kidney failure.
- Critical limb ischemia (severe blockage threatening limb survival).
- Varicose veins or chronic venous insufficiency with severe symptoms.
- Dialysis access creation or maintenance for kidney failure patients.
How to prepare
- Comprehensive medical evaluation, including blood tests, ECG, and detailed vascular imaging (ultrasound, CTA, MRA).
- Review of all current medications; you may be asked to temporarily stop blood thinners (e.g., aspirin, warfarin).
- Fasting for 6-8 hours before the procedure if sedation or anesthesia is planned.
- Informed consent process where the surgeon explains the procedure, benefits, and risks.
- Arranging for transportation home post-procedure, as you will not be able to drive.
- Showering with an antibacterial soap the night before or morning of the procedure.
Risks & possible complications
- Bleeding, bruising, or infection at the catheter insertion site.
- Damage to the blood vessel, including dissection, perforation, or pseudoaneurysm.
- Allergic reaction to contrast dye used during imaging.
- Blood clot formation (thrombosis) or dislodgement (embolism).
- Kidney injury from contrast dye, especially in patients with pre-existing kidney problems.
- Restenosis (re-narrowing of the treated vessel over time).
- Rare risks include stroke, heart attack, or limb loss, depending on the specific procedure and patient health.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Immediate post-procedure monitoring in a recovery area to check vital signs and the access site.
- You may need to lie flat for several hours to prevent bleeding from the groin access site.
- Drink plenty of fluids to help flush contrast dye from your kidneys.
- Keep the insertion site clean and dry; watch for signs of infection (redness, swelling, fever).
- Avoid strenuous activity, heavy lifting, and driving for the period specified by your surgeon (often 24-48 hours).
- Attend all follow-up appointments for wound checks, imaging, and medication management.
- Adopt long-term lifestyle changes: quit smoking, manage cholesterol/blood pressure, exercise, and take prescribed medications (like antiplatelets).
