Peripheral Intervention refers to minimally invasive procedures used to diagnose and treat blockages in the arteries outside the heart, especially those supplying the legs, arms, kidneys, and neck (carotid arteries). These blockages can lead to serious complications like limb pain, gangrene, stroke, or kidney dysfunction if left untreated.

Dr. PavanKumar P Rasalkar specializes in complex peripheral vascular interventions, providing timely and effective solutions with precision and care.

Conditions Treated with Peripheral Interventions

• Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)

• Carotid Artery Disease (risk of stroke)

• Renal Artery Stenosis (causing uncontrolled hypertension or kidney failure)

• Chronic limb ischemia (pain, ulcers, or gangrene in legs/feet)

• Acute arterial blockages

Procedures Offered

• Peripheral Angioplasty & Stenting – Restoring blood flow in blocked leg or arm arteries

• Carotid Angioplasty & Stenting – Preventing strokes by clearing blockages in neck arteries

• Renal Angioplasty & Stenting – Managing resistant hypertension caused by narrowed kidney arteries

• Balloon Angioplasty – Using high-pressure balloons to open narrowed vessels

• Atherectomy Devices – Used for clearing calcified or complex lesions

• Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis – Clot-busting therapy in case of acute blockages

Benefits of Peripheral Intervention

• Minimally invasive and often done via the wrist or groin

• Short hospital stay with fast recovery

• Prevents severe complications like stroke, limb loss, or kidney failure

• Reduces symptoms like pain while walking, ulcers, or numbness

• Helps control high blood pressure caused by renal artery narrowing

• Offers lifesaving alternatives for patients unfit for surgery

When Blood Flow Matters, Expertise Saves Lives

Don’t ignore leg pain, numbness, or unexplained hypertension—they may be signs of blocked arteries. Peripheral Intervention could be the key to preventing serious complications.
