When a coronary angioplasty is used?
Angioplasty is a procedure in which a balloon is used to stretch open a narrowed or blocked artery. However, most modern angioplasty procedures also involve inserting a short wire-mesh tube, called a stent, into the artery during the procedure. The stent is left in place permanently to allow blood to flow more freely.
Coronary Angioplasty is sometimes known as percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). The combination of coronary angioplasty with stenting is usually referred to as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). A catheter is a thin, flexible tube that is inserted into a coronary artery. The balloon at the tip of the catheter is blown up at the narrowed section of the artery to force it wider. A small tube (a stent) is left in place to keep the artery widened.
Why we need Angioplasty Procedure?

- Symptoms of Coronary artery disease (CAD) like chest pain, breathlessness, or syncope.
- Stress test, Stress thallium or technetium or Dobutamine stress echocardiogram showing positive test.

How safe is coronary angioplasty?
Coronary angioplasty is one of the most common types of treatment for the heart. Around 75,000 procedures are performed in England each year. Coronary angioplasty is most commonly performed in people who are above 65 years of age or older as they are more likely to have a heart disease. As the procedure does not involve making major incisions in the body, it is usually carried out safely in most people. Doctors refer to this as a minimally invasive form of treatment. The risk of serious complications from a coronary angioplasty is generally small, but this depends on multiple factors such as your age, general health and whether you have suffered a heart attack. Serious problems that can occur as a result of the procedure include excessive bleeding, a heart attack and even a stroke.
