Consultant Physician , Diabetologist & Cardiologist in Meerut
Coronary Angioplasty, also known as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), is a minimally invasive procedure designed to open narrowed or blocked coronary arteries. These blockages are often caused by a buildup of plaque—a condition known as atherosclerosis—that can restrict blood flow and lead to chest pain (angina), heart attacks, or other serious heart conditions.
During the procedure, Dr. Sharma inserts a thin, flexible tube called a catheter into a blood vessel, usually in the wrist or groin, and guides it to the affected coronary artery. A small balloon attached to the catheter is then inflated at the site of the blockage, compressing the plaque against the artery walls and restoring normal blood flow. In many cases, a small wire mesh tube called a stent is also placed in the artery to keep it open and prevent future blockages.
Coronary Angioplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia and mild sedation. The procedure usually takes about one to two hours, depending on the complexity of the blockage. Patients often experience minimal discomfort and can return to normal activities within a few days.
