Our interventional cardiologist focuses on diagnosis and prevention of peripheral vascular disease. A blocked artery may involve navigating a tiny ultrasound camera through the blood vessels to reach an artery, shaving off problematic plaque using cutting devices, and inserting small metallic coil stents to keep the artery open. Restoring blood carrying oxygen and proteins can bring a limb back to life avoiding major surgery or amputation.
