Angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure to open clogged heart arteries. A small balloon is used to widen the blocked artery, and a stent (a small wire mesh tube) is placed to keep it open. This procedure is critical for treating heart attacks and severe angina.

Angioplasty with Stent may be recommended when conservative treatments have not been effective. Common reasons include: chest pain, heart attack, coronary artery disease. Your doctor will evaluate your specific condition through physical examination and diagnostic tests to determine if this surgery is the right option for you.
Common Symptoms:
A catheter is inserted through the wrist or groin and guided to the heart arteries. A balloon at the tip is inflated to push plaque against the artery wall. A drug-eluting stent is then deployed to keep the artery open and prevent re-narrowing.
Before Angioplasty with Stent: 1) Complete all required pre-operative tests and evaluations, 2) Inform your doctor about all medications and supplements, 3) Follow fasting instructions (typically no food/drink after midnight before surgery), 4) Arrange for transportation and post-operative care at home, 5) Prepare your home for recovery with necessary supplies.
Recovery is quick. Most patients go home the next day. You can return to non-strenuous activities within a week. Blood-thinning medication must be taken strictly as prescribed to prevent clots in the stent.
After Angioplasty with Stent: 1) Take prescribed medications as directed, 2) Keep the surgical site clean and dry, 3) Watch for signs of infection (increased pain, redness, fever, discharge), 4) Follow activity restrictions and gradually increase activity as advised, 5) Attend all follow-up appointments, 6) Contact your doctor immediately if you experience concerning symptoms.
As with any surgical procedure, Angioplasty with Stent carries potential risks including bleeding, infection, adverse reaction to anesthesia, blood clots, and procedure-specific complications. Your surgeon will discuss these risks in detail and take all necessary precautions to minimize them.
Note: All surgical procedures carry some level of risk. Your surgeon will discuss specific risks based on your individual health profile.
