Intervention
Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) & Stenting
Narrowed or blocked coronary arteries are opened with a balloon and secured with the latest-generation drug-eluting stents — restoring blood flow without open surgery, usually through a pinhole in the wrist.
Who this is for
- Angina on exertion or a positive stress test
- Significant blockages seen on angiogram
- Complex bifurcation & left-main disease
- Second opinion on bypass vs. stent
What to expect
- Radial (wrist) access under local anaesthesia
- Latest-generation drug-eluting stents
- Discharge typically within 24–48 hours
- Structured blood-thinner & rehab plan
