About this Procedure
Coronary angioplasty and stenting, also called PTCA (percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty) or PCI, is a procedure to widen narrowed or blocked coronary arteries. A small balloon is inflated inside the artery to push fatty deposits against the artery wall, and a short wire-mesh tube (stent) is usually left in place to keep the artery open.
It treats coronary heart disease caused by narrowed, hardened arteries (atherosclerosis). It may be recommended for angina, chest pain usually triggered by activity or stress, when medicines are not controlling symptoms, and it is also used as an emergency treatment after a heart attack. If many arteries are blocked, coronary bypass surgery may be considered instead.
Angioplasty is done under local anaesthetic, so you are awake. A catheter is inserted into an artery in the wrist, arm or groin and guided to the heart using X-ray. According to the NHS, the procedure usually takes between 30 minutes and 2 hours, and people treated for angina can normally go home the same day or the day after. MedlinePlus notes that complete recovery takes a week or less. You should avoid heavy lifting, strenuous activity and driving for at least a week.
Angioplasty and stenting are offered at Medwell's partner hospitals in Delhi NCR, including BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital in New Delhi, Artemis Hospital and Paras Health in Gurugram, and Fortis Flt. Lt. Rajan Dhall Hospital, Vasant Kunj. Medwell helps you plan a short, well-coordinated trip for this planned procedure.
