Peripheral Intervention

About Peripheral Intervention

Peripheral intervention, also known as peripheral vascular intervention (PVI), involves minimally invasive procedures aimed at diagnosing and treating diseases of the peripheral arteries and veins outside the heart and brain. These interventions are commonly used to address conditions such as peripheral artery disease (PAD), venous insufficiency, and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Peripheral interventions often use catheter-based techniques to restore proper blood flow and improve patient outcomes.

Key Procedures in Peripheral Intervention

Angioplasty and Stent Placement

Similar to coronary angioplasty, this procedure involves inflating a balloon within a narrowed or blocked peripheral artery to open it up.

Atherectomy

This involves removing plaque from the artery walls using a catheter with a cutting device, laser, or rotating shaver to restore normal blood flow.

Thrombectomy

A procedure to remove blood clots from the peripheral veins or arteries, helping to restore circulation and prevent complications like tissue damage or embolism.

Embolization

Used to block abnormal blood vessels or control bleeding, embolization involves injecting materials to obstruct blood flow to specific areas.

Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT)

These procedures treat varicose veins by using laser or radiofrequency energy to heat and close off the affected veins.

Sclerotherapy

A treatment for varicose veins and spider veins where a solution is injected into the veins, causing them to collapse and fade.

Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis

This involves delivering clot-dissolving medications directly to the site of a blood clot in the peripheral arteries or veins.

Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) Filter Placement and Removal

IVC filters are placed in the large vein that carries blood from the lower body to the heart to prevent blood clots from reaching the lungs.

Uses of Peripheral Intervention

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)

Angioplasty, stenting, and atherectomy are used to treat PAD, which involves narrowing or blockage of arteries in the limbs, often leading to pain and mobility issues.

Venous Insufficiency and Varicose Veins

Treatments like EVLT, RFA, and sclerotherapy help improve blood flow and alleviate symptoms such as swelling, pain, and varicose veins.

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)

Thrombectomy and catheter-directed thrombolysis remove or dissolve blood clots in the deep veins, preventing complications such as pulmonary embolism.

Aneurysms and Vascular Malformations

Embolization procedures can treat aneurysms and abnormal blood vessels in the peripheral circulation.
