What it is?
Angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure to open blocked or narrowed arteries, restoring proper blood flow. Rota ablation and Intravascular lithotripsy for calcium management in complex angioplasty
How it’s done
A balloon-tipped catheter is inserted into the blocked artery, and the balloon is inflated to compress the plaque against the artery walls. A stent may also be placed to keep the artery open.
What are the benefits?
- Immediate relief from chest pain (angina)
- Reduces the risk of heart attacks
- Faster recovery compared to open-heart surgery
What are the risks and how to avoid them?
- Blood clots, artery re-narrowing (restenosis)
- Bleeding or infection at the catheter site
- Heart attack or stroke (rare)
Risk reduction: Taking prescribed blood thinners, lifestyle modifications, and expert care during the procedure minimize risks.
