Introduction
Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death in India, but with timely diagnosis and treatment, many lives can be saved. One of the most effective and commonly performed heart procedures today is angioplasty — a minimally invasive technique used to open blocked arteries and restore normal blood flow to the heart.
At Sanwariya Paras Multi-Speciality Hospital, our Cardiology Department is equipped with a modern Cath Lab and experienced cardiologists who perform angioplasty safely and efficiently — often within the golden hour of a heart attack.
What Is Angioplasty?
Angioplasty (also called Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty – PTCA) is a medical procedure used to treat narrowed or blocked coronary arteries.
During the process, a small balloon is inserted through a thin tube (catheter) and guided to the blocked artery. Once in place, the balloon is inflated to open the blockage, and a small stent (a wire mesh tube) is placed to keep the artery open.
This helps restore normal blood flow, reducing chest pain (angina) and preventing heart attacks.
When Is Angioplasty Needed?
Your doctor may recommend angioplasty if you experience:
- Severe chest pain (angina) not relieved by medicines
- Blocked arteries found in angiography
- A heart attack caused by sudden artery blockage
- Shortness of breath or fatigue due to poor heart function
How the Procedure Works
- Preparation: The patient is given a local anesthetic; the procedure is usually done under light sedation.
- Catheter Insertion: A thin tube is inserted through the wrist or groin and guided to the heart.
- Balloon Inflation: A small balloon at the tip of the catheter is inflated to open the blockage.
- Stent Placement: A stent is placed to keep the artery open permanently.
- Recovery: The patient is usually discharged within 24–48 hours.
At Sanwariya Paras Hospital, angioplasty is performed by trained interventional cardiologists using state-of-the-art imaging and monitoring systems.
Benefits of Angioplasty
- Restores blood flow to the heart
- Reduces chest pain and discomfort
- Prevents further heart damage
- Minimally invasive with small incision
- Short hospital stay and quick recovery
- Saves lives during heart attacks
Post-Angioplasty Care
Recovery from angioplasty is generally quick, but patients are advised to:
- Take prescribed medications regularly
- Eat a heart-healthy diet
- Exercise moderately as advised by the doctor
- Avoid smoking and alcohol
- Attend regular follow-up visits
Our Cardiac Rehabilitation Program helps patients recover faster through guided exercise, diet plans, and lifestyle counseling.
