Frequently Asked Questions

Angioplasty is a minimally invasive medical procedure that is used to widen narrowed or blocked arteries in the heart, brain, legs, or kidneys.

The purpose of angioplasty is to restore blood flow to the affected area and reduce symptoms caused due to blocked/narrowed artery, such as shortness of breath, leg pain, or chest pain.

During angioplasty, a thin tube (catheter) is inserted into an artery through a small incision, usually in the groin. The catheter is guided to the blocked artery, where a small balloon attached to the catheter is inflated to widen the artery.

Patients with narrowed or blocked arteries who are experiencing symptoms or are at high risk of developing complications, such as heart attack or stroke, may be candidates for angioplasty.

The risks of angioplasty include bleeding, blood clots, damage to the artery, heart attack, stroke, kidney damage and a small risk of mortality.

Angioplasty typically takes 30 minutes to 2 hours to complete.

Recovery time after angioplasty varies depending on the patient and the extent of the procedure, but most patients are able to return to normal activities within a few days.

A stent is a small metallic or plastic tube that is inserted into an artery during angioplasty to help keep the artery open. The stent is usually inserted over a balloon catheter and expanded once it's in place.

There are several types of stents used in angioplasty, including bare-metal stents, drug-eluting stents, and bioresorbable stents. Drug-eluting stents are the norm these days for the majority of patients.
