Coronary Angioplasty

Coronary Angioplasty

Coronary angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat narrow or blocked coronary arteries. During the procedure, a small balloon attached to a catheter is inserted through an artery in the wrist or groin and is guided to the site of the blockage. The balloon is then inflated to widen the narrowed artery and improve blood flow to the heart.

In some cases, a small metal mesh tube, called a stent, may be inserted to keep the artery open. Coronary angioplasty is often performed following a coronary angiogram, which helps to identify the location and severity of any blockages. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and can be done on an outpatient basis, with most patients able to return to their normal activities within a few days. Coronary angioplasty is generally considered a safe and effective treatment for coronary artery disease, with a low risk of complications.
