Angioplasty

What is Angioplasty?

Angioplasty, also known as percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, is a surgical procedure to improve blood flow by opening a clogged or narrowed artery. The procedure involves using a tiny balloon catheter to stretch open the blocked blood vessels and prevent damage to the heart. Most patients suffering from chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, weak heart muscles, and an increased risk of a heart attack often benefit from an angioplasty procedure.

There are different types of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) that can be recommended for different cardiac disorders. Types of angioplasty include -

  • Balloon angioplasty
  • Carotid artery angioplasty
  • Cerebral angioplasty
  • Coronary artery stent
  • Laser angioplasty
  • PTA of the Femoral Artery

 

FAQs

Get in touch with a cardiologist if you are experiencing chest pain, breathing issues, and other symptoms of congested arteries. Cardiologists specialize in diagnosing and treating conditions related to the heart. Since clogged arteries are common in older people, it is advisable to consult a cardiologist who specializes in treating patients with co-morbidities to ensure negligible chances of complications.
