What is Angioplasty?
Angioplasty is a term describing a procedure used to widen vessels narrowed by stenoses or occlusions. There are various types of these procedures and their names are associated with the type of vessel entry and equipment used. For example, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) describes entry through the skin (percutaneous) and navigates to the area of the vessel of interest through the same vessel or one that communicates with it (transluminal). In the case of a procedure involving the coronary arteries, the point of entry could be the femoral artery in the groin and the catheter/guidewire system is passed through the aorta to the heart and the origin of the coronary arteries at the base of the aorta just outside the aortic valve.
Who is an ideal candidate for angioplasty?
When medications or lifestyle changes aren’t enough to reduce the effects of these blockages in arteries, or if patient have worsening chest pain or heart problems, doctor might suggest coronary angioplasty (AN-je-o-plas-te).
This procedure widens (dilates) blocked arteries, which can help prevent the complications of atherosclerosis. Angioplasty is usually combined with implantation of a stent in the clogged artery to help prop it open and decrease the chance of reblockage. Angioplasty is also known as coronary artery balloon dilation, balloon angioplasty and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Benefits of Angioplasty:
§ It doesn’t require a major incision.
§ Patient don’t need general anesthesia.
§ Major complications are uncommon.
§ It can relieve your symptoms, such as chest pain.
