At Prime Heart Care, we offer advanced vascular procedures such as Renal Angioplasty (PTRA) and IVC Filter placement to restore healthy blood flow and protect patients from serious complications like kidney damage and pulmonary embolism. These are minimally invasive procedures performed with precision and care.

Renal Angioplasty (PTRA)

Renal Angioplasty, also called Percutaneous Transluminal Renal Angioplasty (PTRA), is a procedure to treat narrowing of the renal arteries, which supply blood to the kidneys. Using a catheter with a small balloon, the blocked artery is opened, and a stent may be placed to keep it wide.

When is PTRA needed?

• Renal artery stenosis (narrowed kidney arteries)

• Uncontrolled or resistant hypertension

• Declining kidney function due to poor blood supply

• Prevention of long-term kidney failure

Benefits:

• Improves blood pressure control

• Enhances kidney function

• Minimally invasive with quick recovery

• Reduces risk of kidney-related complications

IVC Filter Placement

An Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) Filter is a small device placed in the large vein that carries blood from the lower body to the heart. It helps prevent blood clots from reaching the lungs, reducing the risk of pulmonary embolism (PE).

When is an IVC Filter needed?

• Patients with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) at risk of pulmonary embolism

• When blood thinners cannot be used or are not effective

• In patients undergoing high-risk surgeries or trauma care

Benefits:

• Provides immediate protection from pulmonary embolism

• Life-saving in high-risk cases

• Can be temporary or permanent depending on condition
