Coronary Angioplasty

Coronary Angioplasty is a treatment that improves blood flow to the heart by opening a narrow or blocked artery by placing a stent.  Coronary Angioplasty uses a “special balloon” along with a metal mesh-like tube called “stent” that helps open up a narrowed or blocked artery. The stent used is generally left in place permanently to enable blood flow more freely. 

Treating heart conditions at the right time is crucial. Medical interventions in the form of cardiac procedures not only improve the lifestyle but allow you to live a healthier life.  Find out the cardiac treatments currently available that may help you or your loved ones.

Coronary Angiography

Coronary Angiography is a test that is normally performed to find out the extent of narrowing of the arteries in your heart. 

What Is Coronary Angiography and how is it done?

Coronary Angiography is an imaging test that uses X-rays to view the blood vessels of the heart. This test helps study the blocked, enlarged, narrow or malformed arteries and veins of the heart.

During this procedure, a special dye is used along with X-rays to check the blood flow through the arteries.
