Coronary angioplasty is a non-surgical process in which the contracted passage in the arteries is broadened. The walls of the arteries become thick making them completely blocked, This condition is known as Atherosclerosis, To cure this Angioplasty is performed.
Normally, Medicines can help restrict the blockage of arteries. But, When the condition fails to improve, Angioplasty of the coronary arteries is performed. Because of the irregular flow of the blood to the heart and other body parts, Angina comes into existence (a condition where there is a pain in the chest). Angioplasty is advised to improve the flow of blood to the heart and other organs.
At least 8 hours of fasting may be required before the test. (as advised by the doctor)You will have to provide all other medical history and may have to appear for a physical examination prior to a coronary angiographyIf you are on any ongoing medication, the same must be discussed with the doctor.Procedure for coronary angiography starts by inserting a thin tube called the catheter into a blood vessel up to the heart and the coronary arteries.
A balloon-like object is inserted and is enlarged to broaden the artery. During this procedure, all the unwanted disposal is removed from the walls enabling the smooth flow of blood.
In acute cases, a stent is required to be inserted around the balloon in a similar manner. Here, when the balloon is inflated, the stent also enlarges but after the balloon flattens, the stent remains intact allowing the passage to remain wide open, to allow smooth flow of blood.
During the process, anesthesia is given to the patient.
