Angioplasty And Stent Placement Surgery

Angioplasty and stent placement surgery are the two procedures that help to unblock the coronary arteries. The blockage of the coronary arteries can happen due to several coronary artery diseases. The surgical treatment can be beneficial in restoring the flow of blood into the veins.

The treatment is helpful in emergencies such as coronary artery blockage and heart attack. However, a thin catheter is passed into the blood vessel for angioplasty and reaches the blocked region. On the top of the catheter, there is a tiny balloon inflated at the coronary artery's narrowed region. Thereby, it helps to remove the plaque from the blood vessels.

The surgery is often known as a percutaneous coronary intervention. Angioplasty surgery is a great solution to save the life of a patient suffering from heart artery blockage.

Stents Placements

Coronary stent surgery is also helpful in removing the blockage of the coronary artery. A stent is a form of tiny metal mesh coil inserted into the artery to open the blockage and help prevent arteries from narrowing down. 

The stent is placed into the artery by the angioplasty surgeon.  It takes around three to twelve months to completely line up with the tissues. However, the timing may depend on whether the stent is coated with medicine or not. The majority of the stents available are coated with a medicine known as antiplatelets.

This helps to decrease the platelet's "stickiness". Thereby preventing clumping of the blood. These kinds of stents are also known as drug-eluting stents.  They help release the medicines into the blood vessels that slow down the tissue overgrowth.

The stunts that don't have this kind of coating are known as bare-metal stents. This kind of stent is preferred for people who have a greater risk of bleeding.

When You Need Angioplasty?

Coronary angiography in Faridabad is usually done to remove the blockage from the coronary artery and restore the flow of blood into the veins. However, not all CAD coronary artery diseases are cured with angioplasty. So, the doctors will decide whether you need coronary angiography or not.
