Venous Angioplasty Treatment in India

Venous Angioplasty Details:

  • It is a non-surgical procedure used for clearing the blockages in the veins of Central Nervous System that causes MS.
  • This process also might require placing a stent in the vein to keep it open for blood flow.
  • A plastic tube called catheter having a guide wire on it is inserted into the patient’s body.
  • With the help of the guide wire and venogram map, the doctors will direct the catheter towards the narrowed or blocked vein in CNS.
  • Upon reaching the narrowed point, the special balloon attached to the catheter is inflated to widen the passage and clear the blockage.
  • If required, a stent may be inserted with the catheter. This stent will stay in the artery even after the surgery in order to keep the passage wide open.
  • After clearance of blockage, the balloon and catheter are removed from the body.
