Super Specialist in conducting Angioplasty

Angioplasty is a surgery that opens a narrowed or obstructed artery surrounding the heart. This is done to restore the artery's blood flow.

Coronary artery disease causes plaque to build up on the arterial walls, obstructing blood flow. As plaque builds up, the arteries constrict and get blocked. The plaque may rupture during a heart attack, spewing cholesterol into an artery. This can cause a blood clot and restrict the flow of blood.

To guide the catheter and assess the arteries that need to be treated, fluoroscopy and a contrast dye are administered. There are two types of Angioplasty

Stent placement: A wire mesh tube, or stent, is used in this type of angioplasty. After angioplasty, stents help to keep an artery from narrowing again. Stents are made of bare metal or contain a pharmaceutical coating.

Balloon angioplasty: This procedure involves clearing plaque from an artery using the pressure of an inflated balloon.

Dr Pranoy has a lot of experience in performing angioplasty over the course of his career for many patients. Before the procedure, Dr Pranoy first monitors the patient and their condition. If the situation demands it, then an angioplasty is performed immediately.

Even though the procedure is invasive, Dr Pranoy, a specialist in cardiology carries it out with the utmost care. First, he makes an incision in the wrist to insert a catheter into an artery.

Then the catheter is moved towards the affected blood vessel. This catheter contains an inflatable balloon which displaces the clot so the blood can blow without any blockage or restriction.
