    • Coronary Interventions

    What Are Coronary Interventions?
    Coronary interventions are non-surgical procedures used to treat narrowed or blocked arteries in the heart (called coronary arteries). These blockages can reduce blood flow and lead to chest pain (angina) or a heart attack.

    The most common type is called Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), also known as angioplasty.

     

    Why Are They Done?
    They help:

    • Relieve chest pain (angina)

    • Improve blood flow to the heart

    • Prevent heart attacks

    • Improve quality of life and physical activity

    • Sometimes avoid the need for open-heart surgery

     

    Types of Coronary Interventions:

     

    1. Coronary Angioplasty with Stent

    • A small balloon is inflated at the blocked site to open up the artery.

    • A stent (a tiny mesh tube) is placed to keep it open.

     

    2. Balloon Angioplasty (without Stent)

    • Only a balloon is used to widen the artery.

    • Usually done in selected cases.
