Coronary angioplasty, medically known as Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), is a minimally invasive procedure performed to restore blood flow in narrowed or blocked coronary arteries. These arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle. When they become narrowed due to plaque buildup (atherosclerosis), patients may experience chest pain (angina), breathlessness, or heart attack.
During angioplasty, a small balloon catheter is advanced to the site of blockage and gently inflated to widen the artery. In most cases, a coronary stent, a small mesh tube is placed to support the artery wall and maintain long-term blood flow.
This procedure helps relieve symptoms, improve heart function, and significantly reduce the risk of major cardiac events when performed in appropriate clinical settings.

Step-by-step process
1. Local Anaesthesia & Sedation
The access site (wrist or groin) is numbed. Mild sedation may be administered for comfort.
2. Arterial Access
A thin catheter is inserted through the radial artery (wrist) or femoral artery (groin) and carefully guided to the coronary arteries.
3. Coronary Angiography
Contrast dye is injected to visualize arterial blockages using real-time X-ray imaging.
4. Balloon Dilatation
A balloon-tipped catheter is positioned at the narrowed segment and inflated to compress plaque and widen the artery.
5. Stent Deployment
A stent mounted on the balloon expands as the balloon inflates, securing the artery open. The balloon is then deflated and removed.
6. Final Assessment & Monitoring
Blood flow is reassessed. The catheter is withdrawn, and pressure is applied to prevent bleeding. The patient is monitored in recovery.
The procedure typically restores adequate coronary blood flow immediately, often relieving symptoms promptly.
The choice of technique depends on the nature of the blockage and overall patient health.
Final suitability is determined after cardiology evaluation, imaging studies, and risk assessment.
Immediate Symptom Relief: Rapid improvement in chest pain and shortness of breath.
Prevention of Heart Attacks: Reduces the risk of future cardiac events in many patients.
Minimally Invasive: No need for open-heart surgery or large incisions.
Quick Recovery: Short hospital stay and faster return to normal activities.
Improved Heart Function: Restores blood supply to the heart muscle.
