Angioplasty opens blocked coronary arteries and restores blood flow. At Health1, the cardiac cathlab operates 24/7 for emergency and planned procedures.
What Is Angioplasty?
A balloon catheter compresses plaque against the artery wall, and a drug-eluting stent keeps it open. Takes 30 to 90 minutes via wrist or groin access.
When Is It Needed?
Significant blockages causing angina, abnormal stress tests, or acute heart attacks (STEMI/NSTEMI). Health1 targets rapid door-to-balloon times for heart attacks.
Types of Stents
Health1 uses drug-eluting stents (DES) — both Indian and imported. The cardiologist recommends based on blockage characteristics.
Cost
Single-vessel PCI: ₹1.2L to ₹2.5L depending on stent type. Cashless across all major insurers.
Recovery
Discharge within 24 to 48 hours. Return to work in 2 weeks. Long-term medication and cardiac rehab are essential.
