Peripheral Angioplasty Cost at Charite University Hospital

Angioplasty is a procedure to open narrowed or blocked blood vessels that supply blood to legs.

It is done by threading a catheter (thin tube) through a small puncture in a leg or arm artery to the heart. The blocked artery is opened by inflating a tiny balloon in it.Balloon pushes plaque to the side and stretches the artery open, so blood can flow more easily.
