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.
