Coronary Angioplasty in Haldwani | Heart Stent Treatment

What is Coronary Angioplasty?

Coronary Angioplasty, also known as Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), is an advanced, minimally invasive procedure used to open blocked or narrowed coronary arteries. These blockages can restrict blood flow to the heart and increase the risk of heart attack.

“During the procedure, a thin catheter with a small balloon is inserted into the blocked artery. The balloon is inflated to widen the artery, and in most cases, a stent is placed to keep it open and restore normal blood flow.”

When is Angioplasty Required?

Dr. Pramod Joshi may recommend angioplasty in the following conditions:

Coronary artery disease (blocked arteries)
Persistent chest pain (angina)
Heart attack (emergency treatment)
Reduced blood flow to the heart
Abnormal angiography results
