PTAB with the DETOUR System provides an innovative alternative option that is minimally invasive and offers fast recovery times. PTAB with the DETOUR System is a minimally invasive approach that utilizes endovascular techniques and the patient’s own vasculature to create a bypass around the diseased area.
During PTAB, your doctor will implant stent grafts that will pass through the arterial wall, into the adjacent vein, and back into the artery. The bypass created with the stent grafts will re-direct blood around the blockage to increase flow.
