What Is
Coronary angioplasty:
Coronary Angioplasty is a procedure used to restore blood flow
through a narrowed or blocked artery in the heart. The arteries of
the heart can become narrowed and blocked due to buildup of a
material called plaque on their inner walls. This narrowing reduces
the flow of blood through the artery and can lead, over time, to
coronary artery disease and heart attack. In angioplasty, a thin
tube with a balloon or other device on the end is threaded through a
blood vessel in the arm or groin (upper thigh) up to the site of a
narrowing or blockage in a coronary artery. Once in place, the
balloon is then inflated to push the plaque outward against the wall
of the artery, widening the artery and restoring the flow of blood
through it.
This is a fairly common procedure which means that Medical Tourists
can choose from a wide range of facilities that are equipped with
world class equipment and highly trained, experienced surgeons while
still saving 70-80% off of average US prices.
