  Angioplasty
Deposition of fatty substances in the coronary
arteries (arteries supplying blood to the heart),
develops a blockage. This condition is called as
coronary artery disease (CAD). This blockage
creates a problem in the free flow of the blood
to your heart muscle. This situation might lead
to a heart attack. Angioplasty is a widely
performed procedure that is used to treat heart
problems caused by blocked or narrowed coronary
arteries (blood vessels that supply blood to the
heart muscle).
This procedure is performed highly successfully
by interventional cardiologists at heart
hospitals in India. The coronary angioplasty,
which normally takes between one to two hours,
aims to remove or reduce blockages in the
coronary arteries and restore blood flow to the
heart muscle.

Procedure
Angioplasty procedure involves insertion of
catheter in your groin and hence before the
angioplasty procedure you would be given a mild
sedative and some pain killers to ensure that you
remain relaxed during the procedure. Your doctor
will insert a catheter into an artery in your
groin and gently manoeuvre it to the heart. This
catheter has a balloon at the tip and once the
catheter reaches the site of the blockage, the
balloon on the end is inflated. This opens the
blockage and restores the proper flow of the
blood to the heart. Often the device which is
called a stent is also placed at the site of
blockage in order to keep the artery open. .
A stent is a small, mesh like metallic device,
which when placed at the site of blockage acts as
a support to keep the artery open thus
maintaining the blood flow.

 Advanced Interventional Cardiology Procedures
for Treatment of Heart Diseases
Balloon Angioplasty - Balloon Angioplasty is a
procedure in which a narrowed heart valve is
stretched open in a way that does not require
open heart surgery.
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.
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.
Drug-Eluting Stents - A drug-eluting stent (DES)
is a coronary stent (a scaffold) placed into
narrowed, diseased coronary artery.

Angioplasty vs. Bypass Surgery
It is not easy for a patient to make a choice
between angioplasty and bypass surgery on his
own, which happens due to various factors like
the condition of the disease in an individual.
The doctor also checks the symptoms of the
patient along with his overall heart function and
co-existing medical conditions. In case the
narrowing in the arteries is serious about
reducing the blood flow in the heart of the
patient then angioplasty is recommended. But if
the patient has various blockages, bypass surgery
is certainly better.
