What Are Peripheral Stents?
Peripheral stents are small, mesh-like tubes inserted into narrowed or blocked arteries to keep them open. These stents are specifically designed to treat peripheral artery disease, which affects the arteries outside the heart and brain. By keeping the arteries open, peripheral stents ensure adequate blood flow to the limbs and other affected areas, reducing symptoms and preventing further complications.
Arterial stents, a type of peripheral stent, are commonly used to treat PAD. They are placed in the arteries to support the vessel walls, preventing them from narrowing again. This minimally invasive procedure has proven highly effective in managing PAD and improving patients’ quality of life.
