Balloon angioplasty is a non-surgical procedure used to restore the flow of blood through blocked or narrow vessels. It is performed using a catheter, is less invasive than surgery, and in some instances more effective, such as in vessels that cannot be easily reached by the surgeon.
When feasible, a balloon angioplasty with or without stent angioplasty is a medical procedure that can help restore the flow of blood to the lower extremities.
