Brachial artery stent placement is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat blockages or narrowing in the brachial artery, which supplies blood to the arm. The procedure involves inserting a stent through a catheter into the affected artery to restore normal blood flow and alleviate symptoms such as pain, cramping, or poor circulation.
This procedure is particularly effective for patients with peripheral artery disease or those who have suffered trauma to the upper limbs, helping to improve function and prevent long-term damage.
