Peripheral Intervention-Aortic Stenting, Renal Stenting

Peripheral interventions are advanced, minimally invasive procedures designed to restore blood flow in arteries located outside the heart. These interventions are particularly effective in treating conditions affecting the aorta—the body’s largest artery—and the renal arteries, which supply blood to the kidneys.

Aortic stenting is a procedure used to manage conditions such as aortic blockages, dissections, or aneurysms. It involves the placement of a metallic mesh tube, known as a stent, within the affected section of the aorta to support the vessel wall and ensure uninterrupted blood flow.

Renal stenting, on the other hand, is performed to address narrowing of the renal arteries—a condition that can lead to uncontrolled high blood pressure and impaired kidney function. By inserting a stent into the narrowed artery, the procedure helps to widen the vessel and restore proper blood circulation to the kidneys.

Signs & Symptoms

 

Aortic Blockage or Aneurysm:

  • Sudden or severe abdominal/back pain

  • Pulsating sensation in the abdomen

  • Dizziness or fainting

  • Cold legs or feet

  • Signs of poor circulation

Renal Artery Stenosis:

  • Severe or uncontrolled high blood pressure

  • Sudden kidney dysfunction or rising creatinine levels

  • Swelling in legs or ankles

  • Fatigue

  • Fluid retention

  • Flash pulmonary edema (sudden fluid buildup in the lungs)

Diagnostic Procedures

Dr. Priyam Mukherjee follows a precise and non-invasive diagnostic pathway to evaluate vascular blockages:

  • Blood Pressure Monitoring: Especially if resistant to medication

  • Renal Function Tests: To assess kidney health

  • Doppler Ultrasound: Initial screening for blood flow abnormalities

  • CT Angiography / MR Angiography: High-resolution imaging to locate and assess the severity of artery narrowing

  • Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA): Gold standard for mapping vascular anatomy and planning intervention
