Angioplasty with Stent Placement (PCI) Treatment in India

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), commonly known as angioplasty with stenting, is a minimally invasive procedure that opens narrowed or blocked coronary arteries. A thin catheter with a balloon is guided to the blockage, inflated to widen the artery, and a stent is placed to keep it open. PCI is a fast, effective option for many patients with coronary artery disease and can often be performed without open-heart surgery.

• Chest pain or pressure (angina)
• Shortness of breath during activity
• Unusual fatigue
• Discomfort in the arms, neck, jaw, or back
• Sweating or nausea with chest discomfort

Angioplasty is generally recommended for patients with one or two blocked arteries, during a heart attack to quickly restore blood flow, or when symptoms persist despite medication. Your cardiologist will determine suitability based on angiography findings and the location and severity of the blockage.

• Performed under local anesthesia with light sedation
• A catheter is inserted through the wrist or groin artery
• Guided to the blocked coronary artery using live X-ray imaging
• A balloon is inflated to open the artery and a stent is placed
• Procedure typically takes 30-90 minutes

• 1-2 days hospital stay in most cases
• Minimal discomfort at the catheter insertion site
• Most patients return to light activity within 2-3 days
• Full recovery typically within 1-2 weeks
• Blood-thinning medication prescribed to prevent stent blockage

• Skilled interventional cardiologists using advanced cath labs
• Latest-generation drug-eluting stents for better long-term outcomes
• Short hospital stay with fast recovery
• Transparent package pricing with no hidden costs
• End-to-end coordination for international patients
