Angioplasty & Stent Placement in Bangalore
Minimally invasive PTCA heart blockage treatment by Dr. Waseem Nadaf
Advanced Angioplasty & Heart Blockage Treatment in Bangalore
Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA - Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty) is an advanced, non-surgical catheter procedure used to open blocked or severely narrowed coronary arteries, restoring optimal blood flow to the heart muscle.
Dr. Waseem Nadaf is a recognized specialist in Complex Coronary Interventions, including bifurcation stenting, chronic total occlusions (CTO), calcified lesions, and emergency Primary Angioplasty (PPCI) during acute heart attacks.
How Does Angioplasty with Stenting Work?
A miniature balloon catheter is routed through the blood vessels into the blocked artery. Once positioned at the blockage site, the balloon is gently inflated to compress fatty plaque against the artery walls. A modern Drug-Eluting Stent (DES)—a tiny wire mesh scaffold coated with medication—is permanently expanded in place to keep the artery wide open and prevent re-narrowing.
Benefits of Modern Angioplasty:
- Instant relief from chest tightness and angina pain
- Drastically lowers future heart attack mortality
- Non-surgical alternative to open bypass surgery in suitable cases
- Rapid return to normal lifestyle within days
