Angioplasty

What is Angioplasty?

Angioplasty is a medical procedure used to open blocked or narrowed coronary arteries to improve blood flow to the heart. It is commonly performed using a balloon catheter that is inserted into the blocked artery and inflated to widen the passageway.

In some cases, a stent may be placed to keep the artery open, ensuring better blood circulation to the heart.

Why is it Important?

Angioplasty is vital for treating coronary artery disease, reducing the risk of heart attacks, and improving heart function. By restoring normal blood flow, it prevents complications and enhances overall heart health.

Who Should Consider It?

Angioplasty is recommended for individuals with severe coronary artery disease, those experiencing chest pain (angina), or individuals who have had a heart attack. It is also considered for those with blocked arteries that can't be managed with medications alone.

Safe and Effective Treatment

Angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that significantly improves heart function and quality of life. With modern techniques, it is a safe and effective solution for individuals facing heart disease, ensuring better long-term heart health.
