Why Angioplasty & Stenting Is Needed

Performed when coronary arteries become significantly narrowed or blocked by plaque buildup, reducing blood flow to the heart muscle and causing chest pain or a heart attack. It's also used urgently during an acute heart attack to quickly reopen a blocked artery and limit heart muscle damage.

Signs You May Need Angioplasty & Stenting

Chest pain or tightness, especially with exertion, shortness of breath, fatigue with minimal activity, and in acute cases, crushing chest pain radiating to the arm or jaw along with sweating and nausea suggesting a heart attack. Some patients have silent blockages found only through stress tests or angiography.

Types of Angioplasty & Stenting

Balloon angioplasty alone widens the artery, but most cases now use stenting, placing either a bare-metal stent or a drug-eluting stent to keep the artery open long-term. The choice of stent depends on the artery involved, lesion characteristics, and the patient's ability to take long-term blood-thinning medication.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is angioplasty different from bypass surgery?

Angioplasty is a minimally invasive catheter-based procedure done through a small puncture, while bypass surgery is open-heart surgery reserved for more extensive or complex blockages; your cardiologist will advise which suits your case.

Do I need to take medication after stenting?

Yes, dual antiplatelet therapy is required for months to a year or more to prevent clots inside the stent, and should not be stopped without your cardiologist's advice.

How long is the hospital stay?

Most patients go home within 1-2 days after an uncomplicated procedure.

Can the artery narrow again after stenting?

Yes, re-narrowing can occur, though drug-eluting stents have significantly reduced this risk compared to older stents.

Is angioplasty painful?

It's done under local anesthesia with sedation, so most patients feel only mild pressure at the catheter insertion site rather than significant pain.
