A tourniquet is a constricting or compressing device, specifically a bandage, used to control venous and arterial circulation to an extremity for a period of time. Pressure is applied circumferentially upon the skin and underlying tissues of a limb; this pressure is transferred to the walls of vessels, causing them to become temporarily occluded.
At the start of the procedure you'll be given a local anaesthetic to numb the area. Then a catheter â a fine, flexible, hollow tube â is passed into an artery in either your groin or your arm. At the tip of the catheter is a small inflatable balloon and a small tube of stainless steel mesh, called a stent. Some dye (contrast) is injected into the catheter so that your arteries can be seen on an x-ray screen. This helps show where the narrowings in your arteries are, and how severe they are.
