What Is Angioplasty?
Angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to open narrowed or blocked coronary arteries. During the procedure, a catheter with a small balloon at its tip is inserted into the affected artery. The balloon is then inflated to widen the artery, and a stent (a small mesh tube) is often placed to keep the artery open, ensuring that your heart muscle receives adequate blood flow. This procedure is a key treatment option for patients suffering from coronary artery disease, as it relieves chest pain (angina) and reduces the risk of heart attacks.
Pre-Operative Procedures
- Diagnostic Tests:
We perform comprehensive diagnostic tests such as coronary angiograms, CT angiography, and stress tests to precisely locate and measure arterial blockages. - Medication Adjustments:
Our cardiologists advise on stopping blood thinners and antiplatelet agents prior to the procedure to minimize bleeding risks. - Patient Preparation:
Clear pre-operative instructions, including fasting for several hours before the procedure and IV line placement, help prepare your body for a safe and successful angioplasty.
The Angioplasty Procedure
During the procedure, our expert surgeons use a minimally invasive approach. A catheter with a balloon is guided through your artery to the blockage site. Once in position, the balloon is inflated to compress plaque against the artery walls. In most cases, a stent is then deployed to keep the artery open, restoring proper blood flow to the heart muscle and reducing the risk of future cardiac events.
Post-Operative Care & Recovery
- Immediate Monitoring:
After the procedure, you will be observed in the hospital, often on a same-day or overnight basis, to monitor for any complications. - Medications:
You will be prescribed antiplatelet drugs (such as aspirin and clopidogrel) to prevent stent thrombosis and ensure your artery remains open. - Activity Guidelines:
A gradual return to normal activities is recommended, with specific restrictions on heavy exertion for a few days to allow for proper healing. - Follow-Up Care:
Regular follow-up appointments, including stress tests and imaging studies, are scheduled to monitor stent patency and overall heart function.
