Coronary Angioplasty

Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA)

Restoring Blood Flow. Reviving Heart Health.

Coronary Angioplasty, also known as Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA), is a life-saving procedure that opens blocked or narrowed arteries of the heart to restore normal blood flow. It is one of the most effective treatments for patients suffering from coronary artery disease (CAD) or heart attacks.

At Apex Hospital, Moradabad, Dr. Nitin Agrawal, a Gold Medalist and Chief Interventional Cardiologist, performs coronary angioplasty using advanced radial route techniques for minimal discomfort and faster recovery. With over 10,000 successful cardiac procedures, Dr. Agrawal ensures precision and patient safety at every step.

When is Coronary Angioplasty Needed?

Angioplasty is usually recommended when:

A patient has a significant blockage in one or more coronary arteries.
There are chest pains (angina) not relieved by medicines.
A heart attack occurs due to sudden artery blockage.
The patient’s angiography report shows restricted blood flow.

This procedure not only relieves symptoms but also reduces the risk of future heart attacks and improves heart function.

How is the Procedure Performed?

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia.
A thin catheter is inserted through the wrist (radial artery) or groin (femoral artery) and guided to the blocked artery.
A small balloon is inflated at the site of blockage to widen the artery.
In most cases, a stent (metal mesh tube) is placed to keep the artery open permanently.
The entire procedure takes around 30–60 minutes.

Dr. Agrawal’s expertise in radial route angioplasty ensures less bleeding, quicker mobility, and same-day discharge for most patients.

Patients are usually able to resume normal life within a few days, following the doctor’s advice.
