What is angioplasty?

Angioplasty, also known as balloon angioplasty, is basically a surgical procedure that is utilized to unblock a coronary artery. This minimally invasive procedure helps in widening arteries and veins that have become narrow due to formation of fatty plaque. It eventually and keeps the heart muscles healthy.

There are various types of angioplasty procedures and these are listed below:

  • Carotid angioplasty: This angioplasty procedure is conducted to remove blockages from arteries that are situated in the patient’s neck and connected to the brain. It significantly brings down the risk of having a brain stroke.
  • Coronary angioplasty: The most widely performed angioplasty procedure, coronary angioplasty is done to treat narrow coronary arteries of the heart.
  • Venous angioplasty: Blockages in the veins that reside in lower neck and move towards the armpit are treated using this type of angioplasty procedure.
  • Peripheral angioplasty: Narrowed down arteries present in the abdomen, leg and those supplying blood to the kidneys are treated using peripheral angioplasty. If you also think you are at the risk of a heart attack and need expert consultation from the best cardiac doctor in Chandigarh, get in touch with Healing hospital to protect your heart health.

What does the angioplasty procedure involve?

  • Firstly, the patient is administered local anesthesia before the commencement of angioplasty.
  • A catheter is inserted by the cardiac surgeon through an incision made in the patient’s arm or groin.
  • Once the catheter reaches the blocked area of the coronary artery, a tiny balloon attached to its tip is inflated to open the narrow artery.
  • Typically, mild to zero pain is experienced during the angioplasty procedure.

Why do I need to undergo angioplasty?

After thorough investigation, your cardiac surgeon will let you know if you need to undergo angioplasty or not.

Following are the crucial points that will be considered:

  • If you have blockage in one or more coronary arteries.
  • If you experience chest pain or breathlessness due to coronary artery disease (CAD).
  • If there is excessive build-up of plaque in your arteries that cannot be controlled by medication and lifestyle changes.
  • If you had a heart attack.
  • If the coronary bypass graft has again shut down or become narrow due to cholesterol/fatty plaque deposits (also known as atherosclerosis).

What to expect post-angioplasty?

  • In most cases, patients who have undergone angioplasty, need to stay overnight at the hospital where they are kept under observation.
  • You need to make arrangements for someone to drive you home after the procedure.
  • Your reports will be discussed with the family members or friends accompanying you.
  • Once you are home, drink plenty of fluids and start with your normal diet routine.
  • Do not indulge in any strenuous activity until and unless advised by the doctor.
  • Do not smoke for at least a few days after angioplasty.

How much time will it take to resume normal work after angioplasty?

  • Once your planned coronary angioplasty is done, you should be able to resume your work after as little as one to two weeks depending on your condition.
  • It is important to follow the medications as prescribed by your cardiologist so as to avoid any complications in the future.
  • If you have a job that requires heavy lifting, it is advisable to get a go-ahead from your specialist heart doctor before going back.
