What is Angioplasty? by Dr. SS Bansal | Senior Cardiologist | SSB Hospital
Dr. Shyam Sunder Bansal, Chairman & Managing Director at SSB Heart & Multispecialty Hospital, explains the significance of coronary angioplasty in patients with heart attack, which serves as a nonsurgical intervention for blocked or narrowed arteries and is a standard treatment for it. During angioplasty, a tube is inserted through the groin or wrist and then a thread is sent through this tube towards the affected artery. Finally, a balloon or stent is inserted to open the artery. Post this, the blockage is removed, thus opening up the artery for free flow of blood.
