Balloon Angioplasty
Balloon Angioplasty is a procedure used to open up narrowed or blocked arteries, usually caused by atherosclerosis.
During the procedure, a catheter with a small balloon at its tip is guided to the blockage site and inflated to compress plaque and restore blood flow.
It’s often combined with stent placement for long-term artery support.
Overview And Clinical Background
Restoring blood flow through dilation
Balloon Angioplasty improves circulation in coronary, renal, carotid, or peripheral arteries.
It reduces ischemic symptoms and may prevent heart attack or limb loss.
Symptoms, Signs And Presentation
Candidates often have pain, weakness, or poor circulation due to arterial blockages.
The procedure targets arteries supplying the heart, kidneys, or legs.
Diagnosis Methods And Investigations
Preoperative vascular assessment
Detailed imaging defines the exact site and severity of blockage before intervention.
Treatment Options And Surgical Techniques
Performed under local anesthesia, a catheter is threaded into the artery and the balloon inflated to compress plaque.
A stent may then be placed to prevent re-narrowing.
Recovery, Risks And Prognosis
Most patients recover within a day or two.
Risks include artery re-narrowing, bleeding, or allergic reaction to dye.
Long-term outcomes are excellent with medication and lifestyle control.
