Plaques that
accumulate in your arteries can cause chest pain,
shortness of breath and heart attacks.
Coronary angioplasty
is a medical procedure used to open arteries that
have narrowed to the point that they impede blood
flow to the heart. This procedure can improve some
of the symptoms associated with blocked arteries,
such as chest pain and shortness of breath.

Overview
The interventional cardiologists play an
important role in the diagnosis and treatment of life threatening
problems. In both emergency and scheduled procedures, precision and
attention to details contribute to our high success rates. Our
interventional cardiology team handles both balloon angioplasty and
coronary stent placement, performing more than 1,000 diagnostic
catheterization procedures as well as over 600 balloon angioplasty
or stent placements annually.
Coronary Angiography
Cardiac catheterization is a safe, low-risk procedure which provides
useful information about the patient’s condition. Cardiac
catheterization is a relatively painless x-ray procedure and can be
done under local anesthesia. The advantage of cardiac
catheterization (angiogram) is that it easily provides a definite
answer as to whether or not a patient has significant blockages in
the heart or blood vessels. Physicians can then use this information
to prescribe the appropriate treatment, be it balloon angioplasty,
stent placement, and bypass surgery or other types of medical
treatment.
Percutaneous transluminal coronary intervention
Balloon angioplasty is used to dilate narrowed arteries. A thin tube
with a deflated balloon on its tip is passed into the narrowed part
of the artery. The balloon is then inflated and the narrowed artery
is widened. It is an alternative to bypass surgery for some patients
with coronary artery disease. The development of coronary stent
improves the success rate for coronary intervention procedures and
reduces the chances of re-narrowing of the diseased site. The latest
type of stent features a medicated coat on the inside, which has
been proven to further lower the rate of re-narrowing of the artery.
Peripheral intervention
Perfect Heart Institute also provides evaluation and treatment of
peripherial vascular diseases which usually manifest as pain in the
arms and legs, particularly during physical activity. Diagnostic
tests include ankle brachial index, CT angioplasty or magnetic
resonance imaging. Balloon angioplasty and stenting can be
successfully used to treat these conditions.
