Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this blockage in the middle of the thigh. The name for this procedure is clued vascular stunting. This consist in inserting a tube in the area of the collapsed blood vessel so that it can stay open and allow for free blood circulation. This is mainly used for blocked arteries.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
