Minimally invasive procedure to open blocked arteries and restore normal blood flow.
Coronary angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that is done to remove blockages in the coronary arteries of the heart. When cholesterol or other fatty substances accumulate in a person’s heart arteries, it stops the flow of blood, which can lead to serious conditions such as chest pain (angina) or heart attack.
In this procedure, the doctor inserts a thin tube called a catheter from the arteries of the patient’s groin, wrist or arm and slowly passes it to the heart. There is a small balloon in front of this catheter, which is inflated by reaching the blockage site. This leads to the widening of the arteries by pushing out the accumulated fat or blockage
PTRA is a minimally invasive procedure, i.e. it does not require a major operation. It is usually performed in a cath lab and the patient is given local anesthesia (local sedation).
The patient is given local anesthesia at the catheter insertion site (usually wrist or groin) and mild sedation to stay relaxed during the procedure.
A balloon-tipped catheter is positioned at the blockage site and inflated to widen the artery, compressing the plaque against the artery walls.
A thin, flexible tube (catheter) is inserted into the artery and guided toward the blocked coronary artery using live X-ray imaging.
A stent (small wire mesh tube) is usually placed at the site to keep the artery open, ensuring continuous blood flow.
A special contrast dye is injected through the catheter to make the arteries visible on X-ray and identify the blockage location.
The catheter and instruments are removed post procedure.
Early detection through echocardiography can prevent major heart problems.
