Cryoplasty for peripheral stenosis is a procedure that combines balloon angioplasty with cryotherapy (cold therapy) to treat narrowed arteries in the legs or other peripheral arteries. During the procedure, a balloon is inflated in the affected artery to widen it, while cryotherapy is applied to help reduce tissue injury and prevent restenosis (re-narrowing of the artery).
Cryoplasty is effective for treating peripheral artery disease (PAD) by improving circulation, reducing symptoms such as pain and cramping, and offering longer-lasting results compared to traditional angioplasty.
