Facilities for coronary angioplasty are available at Pulse Hospital, Bhagalpur. Angioplasty is a procedure that opens a narrowed or blocked coronary artery to improve blood flow to the heart muscle.
The procedure is carried out in the hospital's Philips flat-panel cardiac catheterisation lab, with intensive care support available after the procedure.
What happens during angioplasty
Through a catheter placed in an artery of the wrist or groin, a small balloon is guided to the narrowed part of the coronary artery and inflated to widen it. In most cases a stent – a small mesh tube – is placed to help keep the artery open. Angioplasty usually follows a coronary angiography that shows where the blockage is.
When is angioplasty considered?
Your cardiologist may discuss angioplasty if angiography shows a significant blockage, for example in:
- Angina (chest pain) that is not controlled by medicines
- A heart attack, where restoring blood flow quickly matters
- Blockages that reduce blood supply to the heart muscle
Recovery and follow-up
Recovery time differs from patient to patient. Your doctor will advise you on medicines, activity and follow-up visits. Regular check-ups and control of blood pressure, diabetes and cholesterol are important after angioplasty.
