Coronary Angioplasty

The Modern Treatment for Coronary Artery Disease

About Coronary Angioplasty with Stent Placement

Coronary angioplasty with stent placement is a minimally invasive procedure used to open narrowed or blocked coronary arteries that can lead to angina or myocardial infarction. At the Topmed Medical Center in Târgu Mureș, we offer this advanced procedure using state-of-the-art equipment and the expertise of a dedicated medical team.

Advantages of coronary angioplasty

Angioplasty offers several significant benefits compared to other treatment methods:

Minimally invasive procedure

Performed through a peripheral arterial puncture.

Rapid recovery

Patients can return to daily activities faster than with open-heart surgery.

Improved blood flow

Restores normal circulation to the heart, reducing the risk of heart attack.

Symptom relief

Significantly reduces angina pectoris symptoms.

Long-term treatment

Implanted stents help keep the artery open if prescribed medication is taken as directed.

When is angioplasty needed?

The interventional cardiologist may recommend this procedure if coronary angiography shows severe narrowing of the coronary arteries that compromises blood flow.

How is the procedure performed?

Coronary angioplasty is performed in the cardiac catheterization lab under local anesthesia.

1. Arterial puncture

A thin catheter is inserted through the artery at the wrist or groin and guided to the coronary arteries.

2. Imaging guidance

Using fluoroscopy, after injecting contrast material, the doctor locates the blockage in the vessel.

3. Artery dilation

A balloon passed through the catheter is inflated to open the arterial lumen.

4. Stent placement

The necessary stent is positioned at the affected area, remaining permanently in place.

5. Completion of the procedure

The catheter is removed, manual hemostasis is performed with a compression dressing at the puncture site, and the patient is monitored for recovery.

Recovery after angioplasty

Recovery is faster compared to other cardiovascular interventions:

1. Hospital stay duration: Most patients are discharged 2 days after the procedure.
2. Resuming activities: Light physical activities can be resumed within a few days, while intense physical effort can usually be resumed in 2–4 weeks as recommended by the treating doctor.
3. Postoperative medication: Strict adherence to prescribed medication is crucial to prevent immediate or late complications.
4. Lifestyle changes: Maintaining cardiovascular health requires a balanced diet, regular exercise, quitting smoking, weight control, and reducing alcohol consumption.
