Best Doctors for Coronary Angioplasty Treatment in Karimnagar

Coronary angioplasty also known as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a non surgical minimally invasive procedure that improves the blood circulation to the heart by widening the narrowed coronary arteries that supply oxygenated blood to the heart. A long thin tube is passes via a major artery in the groin (femoral artery) or arm (radial artery) till it reaches the heart and vessels are repaired either by balloon angioplasty(balloon is used to widen the artery), stenting (small mesh is placed to keep the artery open) or the plaque is removed. It is indicated in conditions like athelosclerosis where there is plaque or fatty buildup in the arteries leading to narrowing of the vessels thus reducing the blood supply to the heart which causes  angina (chest pain), myocardial infarction(heart attack), fatigue and weakness etc.
