Axillary artery stent placement is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat blockages or narrowing in the axillary artery, which supplies blood to the arm. The procedure involves placing a stent in the affected artery to open it up, restoring blood flow and alleviating symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness in the arm.

This procedure is effective for patients with peripheral artery disease or those who have suffered trauma to the axillary artery, helping to improve circulation and prevent long-term complications.
