Frequently Asked Questions 


What is Angioplasty?

Angioplasty is a medical procedure that returns the normal blood flow throughout the arteries by widening the narrowed blood vessels and removing the blockages in the blood vessels. Based on the type of plaque [sticky deposit], size and shape of the artery, multiple Angioplasty methods are available and they are:

  1. PTA of the femoral artery
  2. Peripheral Angioplasty
  3. Coronary artery stent
  4. Stent implantation
  5. Cerebral Angioplasty
  6. Laser Angioplasty [Excimer laser coronary angioplasty-ELCA]
  7. Valvuloplasty
  8. Renal artery Angioplasty
  9. Balloon Angioplasty
  10. Carotid artery Angioplasty


What are the advantages connected with Angioplasty?

Following are the advantages of Angioplasty:

  1. Less invasive procedure
  2. Short hospitalization
  3. Restores the normal blood flow
  4. Lowers the risk of recurrence of a heart attack
  5. Widens the narrowed blood vessels or arteries
  6. Decreased blood loss


What are the indications of Angioplasty?

Following are the indications of Angioplasty:

  1. Angina
  2. Proximal lesion
  3. Obstruction of the blood flow in the renal artery

What is the preparation needed for Angioplasty?

  1. The doctor may ask the patient about the present and past medical and medication history.
  2. Some tests may be advised by the doctor to check the condition of the blockages.
  3. The patient should stop eating or drinking before 6 hours of the procedure.
  4. Discuss with the doctor about all the risks, complications, and benefits associated with the Angioplasty.
  5. The patient may be asked to sign a consent form before undergoing this procedure.  


What are the steps involved in Angioplasty?

Following steps are involved in Angioplasty:

  1. The patient will be sedated and then, a catheter or small tube will be inserted into the large artery.
  2. The catheter is slowly directed throughout the artery until the tip approaches the vessel that needed to be checked.
  3. Now, the contrast dye is injected into the blood vessel through the catheter, and the X-rays of the blood vessels will be taken.
  4. These X-ray images may be examined by the doctor and a small balloon at the end of the catheter will be inflated and widens the narrowed artery.
  5. After widening the artery, the balloon will be deflated. In a few cases, a stent will be placed in the obstructed artery for normal blood flow.


What is the Postprocedure care for Angioplasty?

  1. The patient may need to stay in the hospital for at least 4 hours.
