This procedure uses a tiny balloon catheter that helps in widening and improving the blood flow after getting inserted into the blocked vessel. This procedure involves the placement of a small wire mesh tube that is known as stent. This stent helps to open the artery and decrease the chances of narrowing again. This <strong>treatment helps in improving the blocked artery symptoms such as shortness of breath and chest pain<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">Why is stenting needed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Angioplasty and stenting<\/strong> is often recommended by doctors in the following cases:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Treatment of the blockages shown in the angiogram<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Help in improving symptoms like breathlessness and chest pain that are indicative of coronary artery disease<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reducing the amount of damage caused to the heart muscle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">What are the risks associated with coronary angioplasty and stenting?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a very less invasive way of treating <strong>coronary disease<\/strong>, it still carries some amount of risk. Some of the common risks associated with this are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Re-narrowing of the treated artery even after angioplasty and stenting. This happens mainly when bare-metal stents are used.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Formation of blood clots within the stents after the procedure which can even cause a heart attack. In order to reduce this occurrence, certain medications may be prescribed by your doctor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bleeding in the leg or arm where the catheter was inserted<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Other serious though rare complications that arise are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Arrhythmias<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Coronary artery damage<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Heart attack<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Strokes<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Kidney problems<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">How to prepare for the stenting and coronary angioplasty?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to prepare for the procedure, the following are the steps that need to be taken:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Blood tests before the procedure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Planning for your transportation when coming back after the procedure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Checking with doctor regarding ususal medications<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid smoking, alcohol as well as eating at least six hours before the beginning of the procedure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No drinking of any clear fluids two hours before angioplasty<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Removal of all jewelry, dentures or makeup on admittance in the hospital<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">What happens during angioplasty and stenting?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During this procedure the <a href=\"https:\/\/accordhospitals.co.in\/specialities\/cardiac-sciences.html\"><strong>cardiac surgeon<\/strong><\/a> will be following these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The groin area will be shaved<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Local anesthetic will be administered<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A guide wire will be inserted into an artery from wrist or groin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A dye would be injected into the coronary arteries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>X-ray pictures will be taken<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A catheter with a tiny balloon attached to its end will be pushed inside<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This balloon will be inflated and deflated several times<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A stent will be inserted and the tiny balloon will expand the mesh so as to open the artery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Deflation of the balloon and removal of the catheter<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>After the procedure is done, you may have some bruising at the procedure site that will go away within two weeks.
