Acute Vascular Interventions

Acute vascular interventions are medical procedures used to treat sudden problems with blood vessels, such as blockages or tears. These issues can lead to serious conditions, including heart attacks or strokes. Common interventions include minimally invasive techniques like angioplasty, where a small balloon is used to widen a narrowed artery, or the insertion of stents to keep the vessel open. These procedures are typically performed by specialized doctors in emergency situations to restore blood flow quickly, minimizing damage to organs and improving patient outcomes.
