06 Apr First time in Kalyan critical Angioplasty By Dr. Pankaj Kasar
Critical angioplasty, also known as primary angioplasty or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), is a medical procedure used to treat a heart attack caused by a blockage in one or more of the coronary arteries.
During critical angioplasty, a long, thin tube called a catheter is threaded through an artery in the groin or arm and guided to the blocked area in the coronary artery. A small balloon on the tip of the catheter is inflated to widen the artery and improve blood flow to the heart. In some cases, a stent (a small mesh tube) may be placed in the artery to help keep it open.
Critical angioplasty is considered a preferred treatment for heart attacks, as it can restore blood flow to the heart quickly and effectively, improving the chances of survival and reducing the risk of long-term heart damage. It is typically performed by a specialized medical team in a hospital setting.
