Coronary Angioplasty

Overview:

Coronary Angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to open blocked or narrowed arteries of the heart. It helps restore smooth blood flow, relieve chest pain, and reduce the risk of a heart attack. A thin tube with a balloon is used to widen the artery, and a stent is placed to keep it open.

Benefits:

Restores normal blood flow to the heart
Relieves angina (chest pain)
Quick recovery and minimal hospital stay
Reduces the risk of future heart problems

Process:

A small catheter is inserted into the artery through the wrist or groin.
A balloon is inflated at the site of the blockage.
A stent is placed to keep the artery open.
The catheter is removed, and you rest for a few hours.

FAQs:

Q1. How long does Coronary Angioplasty take?
Usually around 30–90 minutes, depending on the number of blockages.

Q2. Can I go home the same day?
In most cases, yes — patients are discharged within 24 hours.

Q3. Will I need medicines after Angioplasty?
Yes, blood-thinning and cholesterol medicines are needed to prevent future blockages.
