Coloured angiogram (blood vessel X-ray) of the right leg of a 52 year old male patient who is being treated for a severe stenosis (narrowing) of the superficial femoral (thigh) artery. A catheter (dark line) has been inserted into the artery to guide a balloon that is widening the artery (angioplasty). Once widened, a stent (wire mesh) will be left in place to hold the artery open. | |
