An angioplasty is a surgical procedure needed to open up the blocked arteries that supply blood to your heart muscle. These coronary arteries get blocked due to accumulation of plaque from increased levels of cholesterol. Doctors often perform this procedure where the blockage has space to be opened up.
The procedure is also called a percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) or percutaneous coronary intervention. In many cases, doctors insert a coronary artery stent after an angioplasty. The stent helps keep the blood flowing and prevents the artery from narrowing again.

Heart arteries can become blocked or narrowed from a build-up of cholesterol, cells or other substances known as plaque. This can reduce blood flow to your heart and cause discomfort in the chest. Sometimes a blood clot can suddenly form or get worse and completely block blood flow, leading to a cardiac arrest.
Angioplasty opens blocked arteries and restores normal blood flow to your heart muscle. It is done by threading a catheter (thin tube) through a small puncture in a leg or arm artery to the heart. The blocked artery is opened by inflating a tiny balloon in it. Desun Hospital performs this balloon angioplasty successfully at the lowest cost in Kolkata.
Angioplasty with stenting is commonly used to treat conditions that narrow or block blood vessels and interrupt blood flow. These conditions include:
People with blockages in their heart arteries may need to undergo an angioplasty and is often used to treat the buildup of fatty plaques in your heart's blood vessels. This buildup is a type of heart disease known as atherosclerosis. Angioplasty may be a treatment option if:
Getting an angioplasty done within the first hours after a heart attack may reduce the risk of complications. Timing can be crucial. The faster the diagnosis the lower is the risk of complications and other fatal conditions.
Angioplasty is an efficient way to get blood flowing to the heart again quickly. The sooner your doctor restores your blood supply, the less damage there will be to your heart muscle. Angioplasty also relieves chest pain and may prevent shortness of breath and other symptoms of heart disease associated with a heart attack.
In many cases of cardiac diseases, the medical history shows that the patient has been suffering over long periods of time, resulting in heart blockages. Early diagnosis and treatment reduces chances of complications in surgical treatment and increases possibility of survival.
Angioplasty is performed by a heart specialist (cardiologist) and a team of specialized cardiovascular nurses and technicians in a special operating room called a cardiac catheterization laboratory. The following steps are followed:
Angioplasty is performed through an artery in the groin, arm or wrist area without general anesthesia.
Body receives fluids and blood-thinning medications (anti-coagulants) through an IV and the patient's heart rate, pulse, blood pressure and oxygen levels are monitored throughout.
A local anesthetic will be used to numb the area where a very small incision will be made. A small, thin guide-wire is then inserted in the blood vessel.
With the help of live imaging, your doctor will thread a thin tube (catheter) through your artery.
Contrast dye is injected through the catheter once to allow the doctor to identify the blockage (Angiogram)
A small balloon with or without a stent at the tip of the catheter is inflated at the site of the blockage, widening the blocked artery. After the artery is stretched, the balloon is deflated and the catheter is removed.
In case of several blockages, Angioplasty can take up to several hours, depending on the level of complications.
Most people who have an angioplasty also have a stent placed in their blocked artery during the same procedure. A stent, which looks like a tiny coil of wire mesh, supports the walls of the artery and helps prevent it from re-narrowing after the angioplasty.
Here's what happens during a stent placement:
An angiogram follows, to see how well blood flows through the newly widened artery.
