Angioplasty

Hrudayansh Clinic is a leading medical facility that offers a wide range of cardiovascular treatments, including angioplasty. Angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to open blocked or narrowed coronary arteries in the heart. It is performed to improve blood flow to the heart and reduce the risk of heart attack.

What is Angioplasty?

Angioplasty, also known as percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTCA), is a procedure used to open blocked or narrowed coronary arteries. During the procedure, a small balloon catheter is inserted into the blocked artery and inflated, which compresses the plaque against the artery walls, widening the artery and restoring blood flow to the heart.

In some cases, a stent may be placed to keep the artery open after the balloon catheter is removed. This is known as stenting and is often done in conjunction with angioplasty.

Why is Angioplasty done?

Angioplasty is performed to treat coronary artery disease, which occurs when plaque builds up in the arteries that supply blood to the heart. This can cause the arteries to become narrow or blocked, reducing blood flow to the heart muscle.

Angioplasty is used to improve blood flow to the heart and reduce the risk of heart attack. It may also be done as an emergency procedure to treat a heart attack.

What to expect during Angioplasty at Hrudayansh Clinic?

Before the procedure, you will be given a local anesthetic to numb the area where the catheter will be inserted. You will also be given medication to help you relax. During the procedure, a small incision will be made in the groin or wrist to insert the catheter. The catheter will be guided through the arteries to the blocked artery in the heart.Once the catheter is in place, the balloon will be inflated to compress the plaque against the artery walls, widening the artery and restoring blood flow to the heart. In some cases, a stent may be placed to keep the artery open after the balloon catheter is removed. The procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes to complete. After the procedure, you will be monitored for a few hours to ensure that there are no complications. You may be able to go home the same day or may need to stay in the hospital overnight
