Peripheral Vascular Surgery in Karnataka

Types of Peripheral Vascular Surgery

Bypass surgery reroutes blood flow around a blocked artery using a graft, while endarterectomy directly removes plaque buildup from inside the artery wall. Angioplasty and stenting, a less invasive endovascular option, use a balloon and mesh tube to open narrowed vessels from within, and the choice between open surgical and endovascular approaches depends on the location, extent, and pattern of blockage.
