Introduction

Peripheral angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to open narrowed or blocked blood vessels outside of the heart, particularly in the legs, to restore adequate blood flow. This procedure is crucial for diabetic patients who are at higher risk of peripheral artery disease (PAD), which can lead to severe complications such as infections, ulcers, and even amputations. At Surat Diabetic Foot Care, we offer advanced peripheral angioplasty to help manage and prevent these complications.
