Professional medical service of Angioplasty
Angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to open narrowed or blocked arteries, typically in the heart (coronary arteries). It is a life-saving treatment for patients with coronary artery disease, angina (chest pain), or those who have suffered a heart attack.
Our cardiology team is led by experienced interventional cardiologists and supported by cutting-edge imaging and catheterization lab technology. We ensure precision, safety, and personalized care for every patient.
How the Procedure Works
- A catheter is inserted through a blood vessel in the arm or groin.
- A small balloon at the tip is inflated to widen the narrowed artery.
- In many cases, a stent (a tiny mesh tube) is placed to keep the artery open.
- The balloon is deflated and the catheter is removed—restoring healthy blood flow.
When is Angioplasty Recommended?
- Severe narrowing of arteries (diagnosed via angiogram)
- Chest pain not relieved by medication
- Acute heart attack (as emergency treatment)
- Poor blood circulation to limbs or organs
Why Choose Angioplasty?
✅ Improves blood flow and heart function
✅ Minimally invasive with faster recovery than open-heart surgery
✅ Often performed under local anesthesia
✅ Can significantly reduce the risk of future cardiac events
Health Tips & Info
Most patients can return home within 1–2 days. Recovery is quick, but lifestyle changes, medications, and regular follow-up are essential to prevent re-narrowing of arteries.
Angioplasty is a medical procedure used to open narrowed or blocked blood vessels (usually coronary arteries) that supply blood to the heart. It improves blood flow and helps prevent heart attacks.
Patients with coronary artery disease, chest pain (angina), or those who have had a heart attack may need angioplasty. It is recommended when lifestyle changes and medications are not enough to improve blood flow.
No, angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure. It is performed through a small incision in the groin or wrist and usually doesn’t require open-heart surgery.
Typically, angioplasty takes 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on how many arteries are treated and whether complications arise.
