The procedure is performed to evaluate the blood flow to your extremities. Common symptoms of peripheral vascular disease include leg pain when walking, leg fatigue or heaviness, or non-healing wounds on the feet.A small tube is inserted into your artery and contrast is injected to visualize the vessels using x-ray. In this manner, blockages are identified.Other catheters can be used to open the blockages and improve blood flow. This can include angioplasty with balloon catheters, placing a stent, or removing the plaque with atherectomy.
