Depending upon the findings in the diagnosis the treatment can be Surgical (peripheral angioplasty) or Non-Surgical (Diet adjustments, medications & exercises).
There are several risks involved in a Peripheral Angiography such as:
- Numbness in area of puncture
- Swelling in area of puncture.
- Haematoma
- Allergic reactions to dye
- Nerve injury at the site of puncture
- Blood clot or excessive blood flow
