Iliac artery stenting is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat blockages or narrowing in the iliac arteries, which supply blood to the lower limbs and pelvic region. The procedure involves inserting a stent into the affected artery to keep it open, restoring normal blood flow to the legs and improving circulation. Iliac artery stenting is often recommended for patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) who experience symptoms such as leg pain, cramping, or non-healing wounds.
Iliac artery stenting is highly effective in reducing symptoms, preventing complications like gangrene, and improving mobility and quality of life for individuals with PAD.
