Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What conditions can angioplasty treat?
A: Angioplasty is most commonly performed for peripheral artery disease (PAD), intermittent claudication, critical limb ischaemia, renal artery stenosis, and to improve circulation in diabetic foot disease with non-healing ulcers.
Q: How long does angioplasty take, and will I need to stay in hospital?
A: The procedure typically takes 30 to 90 minutes. Most patients are able to walk within a few hours and return home the same day or the next day.
Q: Is angioplasty painful?
A: The catheter is inserted through a small puncture in the groin or wrist under local or general anaesthesia, so discomfort during the procedure is minimal. Mild bruising at the puncture site is common afterwards and usually settles within days.
Q: Will I need a stent as well as the balloon?
A: In many cases a stent is placed after balloon inflation to keep the artery open long-term. Whether one is needed depends on the location of the blockage and how the artery responds to the balloon.
Q: What are the risks of angioplasty?
A: Angioplasty is generally very safe. Possible risks include bleeding or bruising at the puncture site, re-narrowing of the artery (restenosis), blood clot formation, vessel injury or spasm, and allergic reaction to the contrast dye.

Common Vascular Conditions Treated by Dr. Soroush Sohrabi in Dubai
Below are some of the most common arterial and venous conditions treated by Dr. Soroush Sohrabi in Dubai, using modern endovascular and minimally invasive techniques.
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that cause heaviness, aching, swelling, and visible bulging in the legs due to poor venous valve function.
Spider veins are fine red or blue surface veins commonly appearing on the legs, caused by weak or damaged veins, often leading to cosmetic concerns or mild discomfort.
Leg edema is the buildup of excess fluid in the legs and ankles, often linked to venous insufficiency, lymphatic problems, or reduced circulation.
DVT is a blood clot in the deep veins, usually in the leg, causing swelling, pain, warmth, and increased risk of pulmonary embolism if untreated.

Lymphedema is chronic swelling caused by blockage or damage to the lymphatic system, leading to heaviness, tightness, and recurrent infections.
Lipedema is an abnormal build-up of painful fat in the legs and thighs, causing swelling, tenderness, and difficulty losing weight despite diet and exercise.

Venous leg ulcers are open sores caused by long-standing venous insufficiency, poor circulation, and skin breakdown, typically around the ankle.
PAD occurs when narrowed or blocked leg arteries reduce blood flow, causing pain when walking (claudication), numbness, and risk of non-healing wounds.

Intermittent claudication is cramping or pain in the calves or thighs during walking due to reduced arterial blood flow, which improves with rest.
An aortic aneurysm is a dangerous bulging or weakening of the aorta that can enlarge over time and may lead to life-threatening rupture if untreated.
Carotid artery disease occurs when plaque builds up in the neck arteries, reducing blood flow to the brain and increasing the risk of stroke or TIA.
Chronic venous insufficiency occurs when damaged vein valves allow blood to pool in the legs, causing aching, swelling, skin changes, and slow-healing wounds.
Angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that reopens narrowed or blocked arteries using a small balloon, restoring blood flow and relieving pain when walking.
I visited Dr. Soroush for a second opinion after being misdiagnosed elsewhere, and I’m so grateful I did. He took the time to listen carefully, thoroughly understand my concerns, and explain everything in detail with patience and clarity. Thanks to his expertise, I finally received an accurate diagnosis. It was truly a pleasure meeting him.
In a city where it's often hard to find reliable and honest doctors, Dr. Soroush stands out as one of the few. Highly recommend him for anyone seeking trustworthy medical care in Dubai.
