🛑Angioplasty is a procedure to open blocked or narrowed heart arteries (usually due to a buildup of fat and cholesterol called plaque). 📍It's commonly used in heart attack or chest pain (angina) cases. ⚡Procedure : 🔺️Local Anesthesia : 📍You stay awake but a small area (usually the groin or wrist) is numbed. 🔺️Catheter Insertion : 📍A thin, flexible tube (called a catheter) is inserted into a blood vessel and guided toward the heart arteries. 🔺️Balloon Inflation : 📍At the blocked area, a tiny balloon at the tip of the catheter is inflated. 📍This pushes the plaque aside, opening up the artery. 🔺️Stent Placement (Usually Done): 📍A small metal mesh tube (stent) is placed at the site to keep the artery open permanently. 🔺️Balloon Deflation and Removal: 📍The balloon is deflated and the catheter is removed. 📍The stent stays inside. ⚡Duration : 📍Usually takes 30 minutes to 2 hours. ⚡ Recovery: 📍Hospital stay: 1 day (sometimes same-day discharge) 📍Avoid heavy activity for a week. ⚡Risks (Rare but possible): 📍Bleeding or bruising 📍Re-narrowing of the artery 📍Heart attack or stroke.
