Stenting and angioplasty procedures are effective in opening narrowed or blocked blood vessels.
In a stenting procedure, Dr. Becker places a small, wire mesh tube in your blood vessel to keep it open and allow blood to flow through properly.
In angioplasty procedures, Dr. Becker uses a balloon that inflates to open a narrowed or blocked blood vessel. He inserts the balloon attached to a slender catheter into your blood vessel and gently inflates it enough to open the vessel and improve blood flow. Dr. Becker then deflates the balloon and removes it.
Stenting and angioplasty may be useful in treating a number of common vascular conditions, including:
During stenting and angioplasty procedures, Dr. Becker may use imaging equipment, such as an X-ray, to guide the catheter into place.
You may have some bruising or soreness where Dr. Becker inserts the catheter. Once you’re home, you should get plenty of rest and drink fluids.
Dr. Becker provides you with aftercare instructions, including limiting your strenuous activities for a few days following your procedure. You may also need to take prescription blood thinners to prevent blood clots from forming while you heal.
