Key Differences between Stents and Balloons in Angioplasty:

Purpose: Balloons dilate narrowed arteries, while stents maintain arterial patency.

Mechanism: Balloons physically compress plaque, while stents provide structural support.

Composition: Balloons are non-compliant, while stents are made of metallic alloys or biocompatible polymers.

Deployment: Balloons are inflated and removed, while stents are delivered and remain permanently in place.

Restenosis prevention: Stents reduce restenosis risk, while balloons have higher restenosis rates.

Long-term effects: Stents can cause complications, while balloon angioplasty has lower risk.

Flexibility: Balloons are more flexible, while stents are relatively less flexible.

Sizing options: Balloons offer customization, while stent selection is based on artery diameter.

Conformability: Balloons conform to arterial walls, while stents have limited conformability.

Dual-purpose balloons: Certain balloons have cutting capabilities, while stents do not.

Risk of complications: Stents have specific complications, while balloon angioplasty has lower risk.

Follow-up procedures: Stents may require dual antiplatelet therapy, while balloon angioplasty has a shorter recovery period.

You can opt to undergo the procedure under the care of some of the best cardiac surgeons in Mumbai. The cost of angioplasty in Mumbai varies between INR 1,00,000 to INR 3,60,000.

Coronary Artery Disease Successfully Treated with CAG, PTCA, and Stent Placement

PACE Hospitals’ Cardiology team successfully performed a Coronary Angiogram (CAG) followed by Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) with stent placement in the Right Coronary Artery (RCA) to effectively treat a significant arterial blockage caused by coronary artery disease, restored the normal blood flow to the heart, and reduced the risk of future cardiac events.

Chief Complaints

A 62-year-old female patient presented to the Cardiology Department at PACE Hospitals, Hitech City, Hyderabad, with complaints of chest pain associated with discomfort radiating to the left arm.

Medical History

The patient has a known medical history of hypertension and type II diabetes mellitus.

General examination

Upon admission to PACE Hospitals, the patient's vital signs were stable. On general examination, the cardiovascular system (CVS) showed normal heart sounds (S1 & S2 were present). The central nervous system (CNS) was non-focal with no deficits (NFND). The respiratory system (RS) reveals bilateral airway entry with normal vesicular breath sounds. On abdominal examination (P/A), the abdomen is soft and non-tender, with no signs of organomegaly.

What Happens During An Angioplasty?

The human heart is like a busy highway and the arteries are the roads which carry the oxygen-rich blood to different parts of the body so that every organ of the body keeps working smoothly. But what happens when these arteries are blocked? This is where the process of Angioplasty​ comes into play! It clears the traffic jam developed in the ‘roads’, i.e. the arteries of the patient. Angioplasty is a life-saving procedure that removes the blockages from an artery and restores the normal flow of blood to the heart. Whether a patient has been diagnosed with heart disease, experienced chest pain, or a heart attack, angioplasty is one of the most effective ways to open up the clogged arteries and prevent heart failure. However, the mere thought of having an angioplasty might scare a patient and make them anxious, which is very natural. The good news is that angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that does not involve any surgery. This complete process takes just a couple of hours, but the results are life-changing! In this article, we will discuss in detail about Coronary angioplasty and the process involved with it.

What is Angioplasty?

An Angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that involves large blood vessels known as arteries to let the blood flow easily. It is mostly used to treat the accumulation of plaque in the arteries of a patient. The procedure involves the use of a tiny Balloon angioplasty which can push the plaque in the spots that are blocked or too narrow. As compared to other cardiovascular procedures like bypass surgery, angioplasty is minimally invasive and thus, it is considered safer. Angioplasties are often considered important in order to prevent complications related to heart health. 

How to prepare for Angioplasty?

The patients who have been advised for Balloon angioplasty would be given a set of instructions and guidelines by their cardiologist which they might have to follow before the procedure. Some of these instructions might include:

Not eating or drinking anything except water for at least eight hours before the procedure

Adjusting the medications (if any) accordingly

The doctor might be interested to know whether the patient has any history of allergic reactions to anesthesia 

Special guidelines are issued for patients who are pregnant 

Patients are generally kept under check and made to stay back in the hospital for at least a day after the procedure, however, even in cases where patients are allowed to go home the same day, they are not encouraged to drive themselves.

What happens during the procedure?

The patient is given some medications that help them feel relaxed and at ease, while they are still awake in order to follow the instructions.

Different monitors and other equipment keep a check on the vitals of the patient.

Before Coronary angioplasty, the patient is given general anesthesia at the location where the artery is being accessed. The patient might feel some sort of pressure during the procedure at this spot, but they would not feel any pain. 

The Doctors access the artery through a needle and slide a tube through it. Wires and catheters are then passed through this tube to the targeted artery.

Doctors can clearly see where the wires and catheters are going through a rotating X-ray machine, with the help of which, they inject a dye into the targeted artery.

The imaging process helps the doctors to spot the blockage in the artery, which they pass with the help of a guide wire. The balloon-tipped catheter is then passed to the blockage. 

The balloon is inflated briefly in order to improve the blood flow, while constantly viewing real-time images through X-rays. A permanent Angioplasty stent​ is then put in place, which keeps the artery open after the balloon is removed.

After the completion of the procedure, the Angioplasty balloon catheter is removed and the area where the catheter was inserted is covered with the help of bandages.  This entire procedure can roughly take anywhere from 30 minutes to a couple of hours depending on the cases.

Patients might feel tired and drained out after the procedure. Hence, it is advised for them to take plenty of rest and drink plenty of fluids. Doctors might also advise them to limit their physical activities for a couple of days. Usually, the wound caused due to the insertion of the catheter would be bruised for a week, but will be better soon after that. Blood thinners like Aspirin might also be advised after an Angioplasty. Most of the patients usually get back to work and their daily life activities by a week or so.

Many of Chinese public hospitals and foreign private hospitals have incorporated EECP treatment into the medical insurance policy; the United States has also incorporated EECP treatment into the Medicare medical insurance system. The ESC and AHA have also incorporated EECP treatment into their guidelines. EECP can improve blood flow shear stress and increase vascular endothelial factor production, which makes you a younger and healthier cardiovascular.
