Angioplasty and Stent Placement
Angioplasty and stent placement is an advanced minimally invasive cardiac procedure used to restore blood flow in narrowed or blocked coronary arteries. The treatment involves opening the affected artery with a specialized balloon catheter and placing a stent to maintain long term vessel patency. It is widely performed for patients with coronary artery disease, chest pain, reduced heart circulation, or heart attack risk, helping improve heart function, relieve symptoms, and significantly reduce future cardiac complications.
About Procedure
Angioplasty, also known as Percutaneous Coronary Intervention PCI, is a modern interventional cardiology procedure designed to treat blocked or narrowed heart arteries caused by plaque buildup. During the procedure, a thin catheter is guided through the blood vessel to the blocked area, where a balloon is inflated to widen the artery. A stent, which is a small expandable mesh tube, is then placed to support the artery and maintain healthy blood flow. Drug eluting stents are commonly used to reduce the risk of re narrowing. The procedure avoids major open heart surgery in suitable patients and offers faster recovery, shorter hospital stay, and effective symptom relief for individuals with coronary artery disease.
When to Consider
Angioplasty and stent placement is recommended for patients experiencing significant coronary artery blockage, persistent chest pain, reduced blood supply to the heart, shortness of breath during activity, or acute heart attack. It is considered when medications and lifestyle changes are insufficient to control symptoms or when diagnostic angiography confirms severe arterial narrowing. The procedure is also advised in emergency cardiac situations where rapid restoration of blood circulation is critical to prevent heart muscle damage.
