Coronary Angioplasty – Restoring Blood Flow, Protecting Your Heart

Coronary Angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to open narrowed or blocked coronary arteries. It helps restore smooth blood flow to the heart muscle and reduces the risk of heart attacks.

Dr. Abhishek Kumar is a leading cardiologist in Meerut specializing in performing safe and advanced coronary angioplasty procedures using modern catheter-based techniques.

At Amaira Heart Care Centre, Dr. Kumar combines expertise with advanced technology to ensure timely diagnosis, accurate treatment, and improved long-term heart health.

What Is Coronary Angioplasty?

Coronary Angioplasty (also called Percutaneous Coronary Intervention – PCI) is a non-surgical treatment where a small balloon is used to open blocked arteries. In most cases, a stent (a tiny metal mesh tube) is placed to keep the artery open permanently.

It is commonly recommended for patients who experience:

  • Chest pain (Angina)
  • Blockages in coronary arteries
  • Heart attack
  • Shortness of breath due to poor blood flow
  • Abnormal stress test or angiography results

Benefits of Coronary Angioplasty

  • Immediate relief from chest pain
  • Restores blood flow to the heart
  • Minimally invasive procedure
  • Quick recovery and shorter hospital stay
  • Reduces future cardiac risk
  • Prevents heart attacks

Dr. Abhishek Kumar ensures a personalized approach, choosing the right type of stent (bare-metal or drug-eluting) based on the patient’s condition and medical requirements.

How the Procedure Is Performed

  • A thin catheter is inserted through the wrist or groin.
  • A balloon is inflated at the site of blockage to widen the artery.
  • A stent is placed to keep the artery open.
  • Catheter is removed, and the patient is monitored for a few hours.

The entire process usually takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the number of blockages.

Recovery & Aftercare

After the procedure, most patients recover within 1–2 days.
