Arterial Disease TreatmentEndovascular Angiographic Treatments

Balloon Angioplasty and Stent Placement

It is a modern interventional procedure that enables the treatment of arterial stenosis and occlusions using endovascular methods without the need for a surgical incision.

How Are Balloon Angioplasty and Stent Placement Performed?

  • The procedure is performed in the angiography unit
  • Access is usually obtained through the groin or arm artery
  • The stenotic segment is reached with thin catheters
  • Balloon angioplasty is applied first
  • A stent is placed inside the vessel when necessary
  • The procedure is mostly performed under local anesthesia

Its Role in Endovascular Treatments

Balloon angioplasty and stent placement are performed using the same approach and technological infrastructure as:

  • Arterial endovascular treatments
  • Dialysis access interventions
  • Treatments for venous stenosis and occlusions

  • Bleeding or hematoma at the access site
  • Intravascular tear
  • Thrombosis within the stent or restenosis
  • Very rarely, vascular occlusion
  • Discharge is usually possible on the same day or the next day
  • Temporary bruising or tenderness may occur at the access site
  • Antiplatelet (blood thinner) therapy should be used regularly
  • Follow-up is conducted with clinical examination and Doppler ultrasonography
  • Less invasive compared to open surgery
  • Does not require general anesthesia
  • Short hospital stay
  • Allows a rapid return to daily life
  • Can be repeated when necessary
  • Peripheral artery disease (arterial occlusions in the legs)
  • Leg pain occurring with walking (claudication)
  • Rest pain
  • Non-healing foot wounds
  • Critical limb ischemia
  • Arterial stenosis in diabetic patients
  • Renal (kidney) artery stenosis
  • Selected carotid (neck artery) lesions
  • If the vessel shows a tendency to re-narrow after balloon angioplasty
  • If a tear (dissection) has occurred in the vessel wall
  • In the presence of long-segment or severe stenosis
  • When calcified and rigid plaque structures are present
