Infrapopliteal angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat blockages in the arteries below the knee, which are often caused by peripheral artery disease (PAD). During the procedure, a balloon catheter is used to open the blocked artery, restoring blood flow to the lower leg and preventing complications like gangrene or tissue death.
Infrapopliteal angioplasty is an effective treatment for individuals with severe PAD in the lower leg, reducing pain, improving mobility, and preventing further complications that could lead to amputation.
