Angioplasty

Home Angioplasty

Angioplasty is a medical procedure performed to treat a blockage or narrowing in the blood vessels of the heart. It is a minimally invasive procedure that involves inflating a small balloon inside the blocked artery to push the plaque against the arterial walls and restore blood flow. Dr. Rahul Shewale, a leading interventional cardiologist, has years of experience performing angioplasty procedures with successful outcomes.

Who Needs Angioplasty?

Angioplasty is recommended for patients who have been diagnosed with coronary artery disease, a condition where plaque builds up inside the arteries, causing them to narrow and restrict blood flow to the heart. This can result in chest pain, shortness of breath, and even heart attack in severe cases. Angioplasty is also recommended for patients with unstable angina, a condition where chest pain occurs at rest or with minimal exertion, and is not relieved by medication.

Benefits of Angioplasty

Angioplasty has several benefits, including:

  1. Improved blood flow to the heart: Angioplasty helps to restore blood flow to the heart, which can reduce symptoms such as chest pain and shortness of breath.
  2. Minimally invasive procedure: Angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that is performed through a small incision in the groin or wrist, reducing the risk of complications and minimizing recovery time.
  3. Quick recovery time: Most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days of the procedure.
  4. Lower risk of complications: Angioplasty has a lower risk of complications compared to other invasive procedures, such as bypass surgery.
