Treatment & Procedures

Endovascular Therapy

Endovascular therapy employs radiology instead of traditional surgical procedures and is executed within the blood vessel.

Angioplasty and Stenting
Angioplasty is the surgical repair of a blood vessel. Angioplasty can be a non-invasive procedure where a balloon-tipped catheter is implanted into the obstructed area of the artery. As the balloon is inflated, the vessel opens furthers allowing for increased flow of blood.

Patients who are not good candidates for endarterectomy may be recommended for angioplasty instead.
