Opening Blocked Arteries, Restoring Blood Flow, Saving Lives

Coronary Angioplasty, also known as Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), is a minimally invasive procedure used to open narrowed or blocked coronary arteries. With over 15 years of experience and global training (FACC – USA, FESC – Europe, FSCAI – USA), Dr. M. Sudhakar Rao offers expert, evidence-based care to patients with coronary artery disease at Manipal Hospital, Sarjapur Road.

When is Coronary Angioplasty Recommended?

This procedure is typically performed in patients with:

• Chest pain (Angina) due to narrowed arteries

• Acute heart attack (Myocardial Infarction) to restore blood flow quickly

• Significant blockages found on Coronary Angiogram

• Poor response to medications or lifestyle changes

• Risk factors like diabetes, hypertension, or high cholesterol

How the Procedure Works

• A catheter with a balloon is inserted through a blood vessel in the wrist or groin and guided to the blocked artery

• The balloon is inflated to compress the plaque and open the artery

• In most cases, a stent (a small mesh tube) is placed to keep the artery open

• Blood flow to the heart muscle is restored immediately, relieving symptoms

Benefits of Coronary Angioplasty

• Rapid relief from chest pain or breathlessness

• Improved blood flow to the heart muscle

• Reduced risk of heart attack and long-term complications

• Minimally invasive with short recovery time

• Often performed under local anesthesia with conscious sedation

What to Expect After the Procedure

• Short hospital stay (usually 1–2 days)

• Return to normal activities within a few days to a week

• Lifelong medications to prevent clot formation in stents

• Follow-up visits with Dr. Rao to monitor progress and manage risk factors
