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).

Ananya Joshi, a 58-year-old former school...
Ananya Joshi, a 58-year-old former school principal from Mumbai, had been struggling with worsening leg pain for two years. An active woman who loved morning walks, she found herself having to stop every few hundred meters due to a severe cramping pain in her calves. Her primary care physician diagnosed Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD). A vascular surgeon confirmed, via an angiogram, a severe blockage in her left superficial femoral artery. The doctor recommended a minimally invasive procedure: an angioplasty with stent placement to open the narrowed artery and restore blood flow. Ananya was anxious but opted for the procedure. In the cath lab, under local anesthesia, she felt pressure but no pain as the stent was deployed. Post-procedure, she spent a night in the hospital for observation. Within weeks, the cramping pain (claudication) was gone. She could walk her beloved neighborhood routes again without stopping. Emotionally, she journeyed from frustration and fear of losing her independence to profound relief and gratitude, feeling like she had reclaimed a vital part of her life and identity.
