Balloon Angioplasty in Bangalore
Balloon angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to widen narrowed or blocked arteries. During the procedure, a small balloon is guided to the narrowed part of the artery and inflated to open the blockage and improve blood flow.
In coronary artery disease, balloon angioplasty may be followed by stent placement to keep the artery open. It may also be used in selected peripheral vascular procedures depending on the location and severity of the blockage.
When Is Balloon Angioplasty Recommended?
Balloon angioplasty may be recommended for patients with coronary artery disease, chest pain due to artery narrowing, acute heart attack, peripheral vascular disease, or reduced blood flow confirmed by imaging.
