PERIPHERAL ANGIOPLASTY

page 5 / 8

Medical treatment:

• Medication and physical exercise are very efficient in certain types of peripheral artery disease.

Surgical treatment:

• By-pass surgery may be considered in cases of very complex arterial disease. A vascular surgeon will give you all the necessary explanations.

Interventional treatment:

• If you suffer from a narrowing or even a complete occlusion of certain arterial segments, you may be treated by angioplasty with stent implantation as in the case of coronary artery disease.
