What is Coronary Angioplasty?

Coronary Angioplasty, also known as Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), is a minimally invasive procedure used to open blocked or narrowed coronary arteries. It restores normal blood flow to the heart, helping relieve chest pain (angina), reduce the risk of a heart attack, and improve overall heart function.

Why is Coronary Angioplasty Done?

Coronary angioplasty is recommended for patients with:

• Coronary artery disease (CAD)

• Blocked arteries causing chest pain or breathlessness

• Acute heart attack to quickly restore blood flow

• Recurring symptoms despite medication

It can be a life-saving emergency procedure or a planned treatment.

How is Coronary Angioplasty Performed?

• A thin, flexible tube (catheter) is inserted through an artery in your wrist or groin.

• A balloon at the tip of the catheter is inflated to widen the blocked artery.

• In most cases, a stent (a small mesh tube) is placed to keep the artery open.

• The procedure typically lasts 30 to 90 minutes and is performed in a cath lab.

Benefits of Coronary Angioplasty

• Immediate relief from chest pain

• Improved blood flow and oxygen to the heart

• Reduced risk of heart attack

• Quicker recovery than open-heart surgery

• Minimally invasive with short hospital stay

You may need angioplasty if you have:

• Severe blockages in one or more coronary arteries

• Symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, or fatigue

• Positive results from a stress test, TMT, or angiography
