Coronary Angioplasty
What is Coronary Angioplasty?
Coronary Angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat blocked or narrowed heart arteries. It helps restore normal blood flow to the heart by opening the blockage with a small balloon and placing a stent to keep the artery open.
This procedure is often performed after a Coronary Angiography (CAG) reveals significant blockages. It can be planned (elective) or done immediately during a heart attack to save heart muscle.
At Nidaan Heart Clinic, Vadodara, our expert interventional cardiologists perform angioplasties with precision, using the latest technology and safety protocols.
Who Needs Coronary Angioplasty?
You may need angioplasty if:
-
You have significant blockage(s) in your coronary arteries
-
You experience chest pain (angina) or pressure on exertion
-
You had a recent heart attack and urgent intervention is needed
-
Your CAG (angiography) shows narrowed or clogged arteries
-
You’re unable to control symptoms with medicines alone
-
You’ve been advised angioplasty after a failed stress test or TMT
✅ Angioplasty improves blood supply, heart function, and survival — especially when done early and correctly.
-
A small catheter is inserted through the wrist or groin
-
A balloon is guided to the blocked artery and inflated to open it
-
A stent (mesh-like tube) is placed to keep the artery open permanently
-
The balloon is removed, and the stent remains inside
-
The entire procedure takes 30–60 minutes
-
Most patients are discharged within 24–48 hours
🛏️ You’ll be monitored for a few hours post-procedure and started on medicines to prevent clotting and support healing.

Final Message from the Cardiologist
Coronary blockages don’t heal on their own — and delaying treatment can be risky.
“Angioplasty is not just about opening an artery. It’s about opening the door to a longer, healthier life.”
If you've been advised angioplasty or are facing repeated chest pain, let’s take timely action. With the right care, your heart can beat stronger for years to come.
