Patient Testimonial - Peripheral Angioplasty And Carotid Artery Stenting

About Rama Sasthri's Treatment and Recovery

Rama Sasthri had been struggling with worsening vision problems and difficulty walking, which gradually affected his independence and day-to-day activities. These symptoms caused significant concern, as they limited both his mobility and overall quality of life.

Seeking expert vascular care, he approached Medicover Hospitals, Visakhapatnam, where he was evaluated by Dr Sibasankar Dalai, Consultant Interventional Radiologist. After detailed diagnostic tests, doctors identified arterial blockages affecting blood flow to both the brain and the limbs.

To address this complex condition, the medical team recommended a combined approach, peripheral angioplasty along with carotid artery stenting. This critical intervention marked the beginning of Rama Sasthri's journey toward recovery, improved circulation, and restored independence.

What is Vision Impairment and Difficulty Walking Due to Vascular Issues?

Vision impairment and difficulty walking can sometimes be caused by poor blood circulation resulting from narrowed or blocked arteries. When the carotid arteries supplying blood to the brain and eyes are affected, vision problems may occur. Similarly, blockages in the peripheral arteries supplying the legs can lead to pain, weakness, and difficulty walking.

These vascular problems are commonly caused by a buildup of plaque in the arteries, known as atherosclerosis.

Symptoms associated with vascular blockages may include:

Timely treatment is essential to restore blood flow, improve symptoms, and reduce the risk of serious complications such as stroke.
