Coronary Angioplasty
Restoring Blood Flow, Renewing Lives
At Sifti Hospital, our Coronary Angioplasty service is a minimally invasive procedure that opens blocked or narrowed coronary arteries and restores healthy blood flow. Performed by expert cardiologists using advanced technology, angioplasty relieves chest pain, improves heart function, and reduces the risk of heart attack.
What is Coronary Angioplasty?
Coronary angioplasty, also called percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), involves threading a tiny balloon-tipped catheter through a blood vessel to the blocked artery. The balloon is then inflated to widen the artery, often followed by placing a stent to keep the artery open long-term.
