Peripheral vascular intervention, or PVI, is a medical procedure to treat peripheral artery disease (PAD) or atherosclerosis. The primary aim of PVI is to improve blood flow to the lower extremities. This restoration of proper blood flow helps to reduce pain and numbness. It can even prevent the need for limb amputation.
Interventional cardiology procedures for peripheral vascular interventions involve accessing blood vessels outside the heart using a flexible, hollow tube known as a catheter.
This technique:
- Opens up blocked blood vessels
- Reduces high blood pressure, and
- Removes blood clots

Earlier, treating blood vessels often involved a significant incision. It led to prolonged recovery and increased pain. But now, we can treat blood vessels outside the heart without needing large incisions by utilizing peripheral vascular interventions. This minimally invasive approach provides patients quicker recovery time, reduced pain, lower risk of complications, and shorter hospital stays.
