Interventional Cardiology Procedures for Blocked
Heart Blood Vessels at world Class Hospital India
Most advanced Cardiac treatment now avoids a
major open heart surgery as, interventional
radiologists can now open blocked or narrowed
blood vessels caused by peripheral arterial
disease or other conditions. For example, in some
patients, high blood pressure is caused by
blockage in the artery to the kidney, a condition
known as renal vascular hypertension.
Interventional radiologists can often treat
blocked blood vessals without surgery. In most
cases, hospitalization and general anesthesia are
not required. There is no surgical incision
--just a small nick in the skin -- and no
stitches are needed. Often, patients may return
to normal activity shortly after the procedure.

Benefits of Interventional Cardiology


Some of the advantages of minimally invasive
interventional cardiology are decreased pain,
less risk of infection, avoidance of large scars
and shorter postoperative recovery times. In many
instances, patients are awake during the
procedure, requiring only a local anesthetic.
Additionally, many procedures are performed on an
outpatient basis, allowing patients to go home
within hours of the procedure. The majority of
interventional cardiology procedures are
performed in the cardiovascular (heart, veins and
arteries) system. Most interventional cardiology
procedures are considered to be minimally
invasive because they do not require an
instrument to enter the body or large incisions
-- most incisions are approximately 1 inch. These
procedures usually involve the insertion of a
catheter (hollow tube) into the femoral artery in
the upper leg. The catheter is guided toward the
heart or vascular area through the use of
real-time X-ray.

Advanced Interventional Cardiology Procedures for
Treatment of Heart Diseases

Balloon - Balloon is a procedure in which a
narrowed heart valve is stretched open using a
procedure that does not require open heart
surgery. is a procedure in which a thin tube
(catheter) that has a small deflated balloon at
the tip is inserted through the skin in the groin
area into a blood vessel, and then is threaded up
to the opening of the narrowed heart valve. The
balloon is inflated, which stretches the valve
open. This procedure cures many valve
obstructions. It is also called balloon
enlargement of a narrowed heart valve.
Stents - Approximately 70 of angioplasty
procedures also involve stenting, which is the
insertion of a small metal cylinder called a
stent into a blood vessel. In this procedure, a
collapsed stent is placed over the balloon at the
tip of the catheter. When the balloon inflates,
the stent pops open and reinforces the artery
walls. The balloon and catheter are then
withdrawn and the stent remains permanently. In a
few weeks, tissue from the artery lining grows
over the stent.There are two types of stents.
Bare-metal stents are plain, untreated metal
cylinders. Drug-eluting stents are coated with
medication before they are placed in the artery.

Rotablation (Percutaneous Transluminal Rotational
Atherectomy or PTRA) - A special catheter, with
an acorn-shaped, diamond-coated tip, is guided to
the point of narrowing in the coronary artery.
The tip spins around at a high speed and grinds
away the plaque on the arterial walls. This
process is repeated as needed to treat the
blockage and improve blood flow. The microscopic
particles are washed safely away in your blood
stream and filtered out by your liver and spleen.
Drug-Eluting Stents - A drug-eluting stent (DES)
is a coronary stent (a scaffold) placed into
narrowed, diseased coronary arteries that slowly
releases a drug to block cell proliferation. This
prevents fibrosis that, together with clots
(thrombus), could otherwise block the stented
artery, a process called restenosis. The stent is
usually placed within the coronary artery by an
Interventional cardiologist during an angioplasty
procedure.

Dissolvable Stents
Heart patients to benefit from dissolvable stent
introduced for treatment of coronary artery
disease at SafeMedTrip.com affiliated world class
hospital in India. Doctors at SafeMedTrip.com
affiliated Hospitals are now performing
angioplasty using a revolutionary device, which
was made of dissolvable material and was a
natural substitute for the metallic stent,
currently used to prop open the artery at the
site of the blockage. Unlike a metallic stent,
which remains in the body for a lifetime, the new
device gets dissolved in due course once the
artery becomes normal. A metallic stent, being a
foreign body, would cause side effects sometimes.
To overcome that patients have to be on lifetime
medication, which in turn could cause
gastro-intestinal bleeding and stroke. There
would be no such side effects with the new device
as it would get dissolved in the body after a
year.
Experts list three major advantages of the
absorbable scaffolding. There is no question of
stent thrombosis (clotting) because the
scaffolding dissolves. The biggest advantage is
that patients will not need to take two
anti-platelet (blood-thinning) medicines for
years on end. Cardiac patients across India now
have a new option while seeking treatment for
their hearts. most-sought-after treatment for
cardiac diseases.
