Procedure
A catheter which is a long tube is used while performing an endovascular procedure within your artery.
A small puncture is made in the groin/arm and the catheter is guided by one of the expert endovascular surgeon in Hyderabad to the blocked section in the blood vessel.
Now, the vascular surgeon will carry out an endovascular treatment, like stenting or balloon angioplasty.
Balloon Angioplasty
In this procedure, the plaque/blockage is pressed against the vessel wall using a balloon which is inserted using a catheter to open the blocked artery.
A metal tube or stent is then positioned in the artery followed by angioplasty to aid cleared vessel and to keep the artery open.
Balloon angioplasty is also termed as PTA (percutaneous transluminal angioplasty). It is one of the most used procedures to open blocked coronary arteries.
- Percutaneous – obtaining blood vessels within the skin
- Transluminal – It means a procedure carried out via blood vessel
- Angioplasty means the process to expand a narrow blood vessel.
Stent Placement
When an angioplasty procedure is carried out, a soft stent (wire mesh tube) is positioned in an artery after the artery is opened with the help of a balloon. The stent is kept inside to let the artery remain open. Also, stents have some medications integrated on its surface to avoid the blockage from coming back.
