Peripheral stenting is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat peripheral artery disease (PAD) by placing a stent into a narrowed or blocked peripheral artery. This procedure restores blood flow to the arms, legs, or other extremities, helping alleviate symptoms such as pain, cramping, or tissue damage.

Peripheral stenting is commonly used in the treatment of PAD in the legs, where it improves circulation and prevents further complications such as gangrene or amputation. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, with a quicker recovery time compared to open surgery.
