Best Doctors for Balloon Angioplasty Treatment in Sharma Nagar, Karimnagar

Balloon angioplasty is a procedure done to improve the flow of blood in the narrow or blocked coronary arteries.

During the procedure, a catheter is guided to your coronary arteries through the blood vessel either in the groin or wrist or arm. A special contrast dye is then injected inside the coronary arteries which highlights the blood vessels and the heart. The first tube that was inserted is replaced with a small balloon that is deflated on the end. The balloon is then guided inside the blockage and inflated so as to push the plaque flat against the artery wall. At this time, a small, mesh tube called stent may be inserted into the artery to help keep it open. After the procedure, you may be kept under observation for a day or so.
