Balloon angioplasty is a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure used to open narrowed or blocked blood vessels (arteries or veins) caused by plaque buildup, often to treat coronary artery or peripheral artery diseases
. A catheter with a tiny balloon is guided to the blockage, inflated to compress plaque against the artery wall, and then removed to restore blood flow.
Key Details of the Procedure
Procedure Type: It is a "percutaneous"" procedure, meaning it is done through the skin, usually via a small puncture in the groin or arm.
Method: A cardiologist threads a specialized catheter with a balloon tip through the blood vessel to the site of the blockage.
Inflation: Once in place, the balloon is inflated, pushing the plaque against the artery walls and widening the vessel.
Stenting: Often, a small, permanent mesh tube called a stent is placed during the procedure to keep the artery open after the balloon is removed.
Imaging: A specialized contrast dye is injected to visualize the blockages on an X-ray monitor
Benefits: It restores blood flow without open-heart surgery.
Risks: While rare, risks include vessel damage, bleeding, blood clots, or re-narrowing of the artery
