Balloon angioplasty: Restore your heart's health!

Are you suffering from angina or ischemic heart disease? Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA), also known as balloon angioplasty, is a modern and effective procedure that can significantly improve your quality of life and restore your heart's health without the need for complex surgical operations.

Balloon angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to widen narrowed or blocked coronary arteries. The procedure is performed through a small incision in the femoral artery or wrist, significantly reducing the risk of complications and speeding up recovery.

Indications for the procedure

Percutaneous angioplasty aims to widen vessels whose lumen has narrowed due to atherosclerosis – cholesterol deposits on the inner walls of the arteries. The procedure is prescribed for patients with:

• Severe angina, including variant angina
• A history of myocardial infarction
• Pre-infarction condition
• Proven ischemic heart disease
• Multiple coronary artery lesions

Why choose balloon angioplasty?

• Minimally invasive procedure: Balloon angioplasty is performed through a small incision, making it less traumatic compared to traditional surgery
• Quick recovery: Patients can return to normal life within a few days after the procedure, making balloon angioplasty an ideal choice for those who cannot afford a lengthy recovery
• High effectiveness: The procedure is conducted under the supervision of experienced cardiologists, ensuring high precision and safety
• Ideal for high-risk patients: Balloon angioplasty is particularly recommended for patients for whom traditional surgery is contraindicated due to age or concomitant diseases

Preparation and operation

Before the procedure, a thorough examination is conducted, including echocardiography, angiography, and other diagnostic methods. A catheter with a balloon is inserted through a small incision in the femoral artery or wrist. The balloon is inflated at the site of the narrowing, widening the artery and restoring normal blood flow.

After the procedure, the patient remains under medical observation and can then be discharged home for further recovery.
