Conditions Treated

Stent placement is an intervention offering relief from a range of vein-related conditions, including:

Procedure Overview

The steps to stent placement typically include:

  • Preparation

    Local anesthesia is administered to ensure your comfort while the affected vein is accessed via a small incision.

  • Access

    A small incision near the site of the vein obstruction is made to grant access to the affected vein.

  • Stent placement

    Specialized catheters and devices are employed to navigate the affected vein. A stent is inserted into the vein to provide structural support, maintaining an open passage for blood flow.

  • Completion

    After the stent is correctly positioned, the device is removed, and the incision is closed.
