Can angioplasty with one stent and two balloons be done on wockhardt hospital Mumbai central ?

Hello,

If your angiography report from Wockhardt Hospital, Mumbai Central shows significant narrowing or blockage in the coronary arteries, the cardiologist recommend angioplasty (PCI) with balloon angioplasty and stent placement. However, the final decision depends on the location, severity and complexity of the blockage, along with your overall heart condition.

What Does One Stent and Two Balloons Mean?

During angioplasty, a thin catheter is guided to the blocked coronary artery. A small balloon is inflated to widen the narrowed portion of the artery.

If there are two areas that need balloon treatment, the cardiologist may use two balloons during the procedure. A stent may then be placed in the most appropriate narrowed segment to help keep the artery open.

The exact number of balloons and stents cannot be decided from the angiography report alone without the treating cardiologist reviewing the images and clinical findings.

Why Might Angioplasty Be Recommended?

Angioplasty be considered when a coronary artery has significant narrowing that is causing reduced blood flow to the heart. It may help improve blood flow and symptoms such as

• Chest pain or pressure

• Breathlessness during exertion

• Reduced exercise tolerance

• Symptoms related to reduced blood supply to the heart

In an emergency such as a heart attack, urgent angioplasty may be required.

Precautions Before and After Angioplasty

Follow the cardiologist's instructions regarding medicines, fasting and investigations before the procedure. After angioplasty, take prescribed medicines regularly and attend follow-up appointments.

Doctor also advise controlling blood pressure, diabetes and cholesterol, avoiding tobacco, maintaining a heart-healthy diet and gradually returning to physical activity as advised.

If you develop severe or persistent chest pain, severe breathlessness, fainting or other sudden symptoms, seek emergency medical care immediately.
