Lower Extremity Vascular Intervention
Peripheral vascular disease can cause blocked or narrowed arteries in the neck, arms, legs and abdomen (peripheral arteries). This condition can cause strokes, leg pain, kidney problems and high blood pressure. Peripheral vascular intervention is a minimally invasive outpatient (same day) procedure used open blocked arteries, in areas other than the heart, in order to treat peripheral artery disease, which causes plaque buildup in the arteries leading to the intestines, head, arms and most commonly the legs.
