PPI

PPI

PPI, or Percutaneous Peripheral Intervention, is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat narrowed or blocked arteries in the peripheral blood vessels. It aims to restore proper blood flow to the limbs or other non-coronary areas of the body, improving symptoms such as pain, numbness, or ulcers.

How Does PPI Work?

During a PPI procedure, a catheter is inserted through a small incision, typically in the groin or arm, and guided to the site of the blockage using X-ray imaging. A balloon at the catheter’s tip is inflated at the site of the narrowing or blockage, compressing the plaque against the vessel walls and widening the artery. In many cases, a stent may also be placed to keep the artery open and prevent future re-narrowing.

Benefits of PPI

  • Minimally Invasive: Requires only small incisions, leading to reduced recovery time and minimal hospital stay.
  • Effective Treatment: Improves blood flow and alleviates symptoms associated with peripheral artery disease (PAD) or other peripheral vascular conditions.
  • Enhanced Mobility: Restores normal blood circulation, helping patients regain mobility and improve quality of life.

When is PPI Used?

PPI is typically used for patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) or other conditions causing blockages in the peripheral arteries. It is often considered when lifestyle changes or medication alone are insufficient to manage symptoms or when there is a need for improved blood flow to the limbs.

Why Choose PPI?

Percutaneous Peripheral Intervention offers a targeted, less invasive solution for treating blockages in peripheral arteries. It enhances blood flow, reduces symptoms, and supports a quicker recovery compared to traditional surgical options, making it a preferred choice for managing peripheral vascular conditions.
