Angioplasty in India with Travcure at the most economical costs

What is angioplasty?

Angioplasty is a non-surgical procedure which is performed to widen an obstructed or narrowed blood vessel using a balloon catheter to improve blood flow in the body's arteries and veins. This procedure is used to treat atherosclerosis which is a condition where the blood vessels are obstructed. This procedure used an imaging technique to guide a balloon-tipped catheter, a long, thin plastic tube, into an artery or vein and advance it to where the vessel is narrow or blocked. The balloon is then inflated to open the vessel, deflated and removed. While performing this procedure a small wire mesh tube referred as a stent can be permanently placed in the newly opened artery or vein to help it remain open.

Why is angioplasty performed?

Angioplasty is performed on patients who are suffering from diseases of coronary arteries. Following are some of the conditions where the surgeons recommend angioplasty:-
•        Hardening of the arteries because of deposits of cholesterol and fats.
•        The buildup of plaques in the artery walls.
•        Narrowing of large arteries because of atherosclerosis.
•        Peripheral artery disease by narrowing of the arteries in the legs or arms.
•        Renal vascular hypertension which is narrowing of kidney arteries.
•        Carotid artery stenosis.

Risks of angioplasty

Risks of angioplasty and stent placement depend on various factors such as age, type of coronary disease. Following are some of the risks related to angioplasty:-
•        Blood clots.      
•        Allergic reaction to dye.
•        Bleeding at the site of surgery.
•        Brain damage.
•        Clogging inside the stent.
•        Heart attack.
•        Kidney failure.
•        More blockage of the carotid artery over time
•        Seizures.
•        Stroke.

Angioplasty procedure

While performing the procedure the cardiac surgeon numbs a spot on the patient's groin or arm and inserts a small catheter into the artery by making a small incision. The catheter is threaded through the arterial system until it gets into a coronary artery. The surgeon then inserts a very thin wire through the catheter and across the blockage. Over the catheter, a thin and expandable balloon is attached to the end. The balloon is then inflated inside the artery to push the plague aside and stretch the artery open so the blood can flow easily through the artery. Depending on the severity of the blockages the patients may require stents in the arteries. These stents are mounted on the special balloon. As the balloon is inflated it opens the stent against the artery walls. The stent locks in this position and helps keep the artery open. The cardiac surgeon then takes out the balloon and catheter.
