Angioplasty in Severe Ischaemia of the Leg 2) trials will provide further insights into the optimal revascularization strategy for patients with CLI 22, 23. Given the existing clinical equipoise, a multidisciplinary vascular team can be invaluable in managing the complex clinical scenarios that arise ...

MINIMALLY INVASIVE ENDOVASCULAR SURGERY Minimally invasive aneurysm repair, angiogram, balloon angioplasty and stenting for blocked and narrowed arteries DIALYSIS ACCESS SURGERY Creation and ongoing maintenance of dialysis access options including arteriovenous fistula, long term haemodialysis cath...
The incidence of major bleeding complications ranges from 2 to 6% after percutaneous coronary angioplasty [10]. Access-site injury rates requiring procedural or surgical intervention or bleeding requiring transfusion range from 2.6 to 6.6% [14]. Rates for ma...
Treatment for peripheral vascular disease includes angioplasty, which is a technique for enlarging an artery that is blocked or narrowed without surgery. Stenting may be performed for arteries that are very severely blocked locally or begin to close up again after angioplasty. A procedure called athe...
