Often peripheral angiography leads to percutanous transluminal angioplasty and/or vascular stent placement. These are non-surgical treatments for vascular lesions. Blood flow often can be restored to vessels in the arms and legs by thrombolytic therapy or thrombectomy.
All of these interventional procedures offer less risk, stress and recovery time than traditional surgery. In most cases, the patient can be released from the hospital within 24 hours of the procedure with minimal activity restrictions.
