Is it best to perform an angioplasty through the wrist or groin in terms of success and safety?

Thank you for your question. Common causes of rashes on the groin include fungal infection, eczema and intertrigo. It is important to make the correct diagnosis as the treatment for fungal infection and eczema is very different. As your rash has been very persistent, you can consider seeing your dermatologist/doctor to confirm the diagnosis. A fungal scraping can be performed to confirm or rule out the diagnosis of fungal infection if there is any doubt.

There have been many improvements in stent technology but one of the noteworthy changes have been the ability to image better inside the arteries. This is a technique called OCT or Optical Coherence tomography which helps us to visualize upto 20 microns ie almost see the vessel live. This makes it easier to see the fat accumulation inside the blood vessel and the likelihood of the plaque rupturing and if stenting is necessary. It also helps to ensure that stent placement is optimal.
