Balloon Angioplasty at CerebrumCor Clinic
At CerebrumCor Clinic, we’re dedicated to offering cutting-edge cardiovascular care with attention to patient comfort and long-term well-being. One of our most important procedures is balloon angioplasty—a minimally invasive procedure for opening blocked or narrowed blood vessels in the heart or elsewhere in the body.
What Is Balloon Angioplasty?
Balloon angioplasty or percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is a medical intervention aimed at restoring adequate blood flow by opening up clogged arteries constricted by the buildup of atherosclerosis in the walls of the arteries. This narrowing or constriction by the buildup inside the artery can limit blood passage and result in severe conditions of heart attack, stroke, or peripheral artery disease (PAD).
During the procedure, a tiny balloon-tipped catheter is placed in the narrowed area of the artery. After it is in place, the balloon is inflated to squeeze the plaque against the walls of the arteries, expanding the vessel and enhancing circulation. In most instances, a stent—a tiny mesh tube—is also implanted to assist in keeping the artery open permanently.
Why Select Balloon Angioplasty?
Balloon angioplasty is a minimally invasive method of open surgery, with numerous advantages for suitable patients:
Reduced recovery time
Decreased risk of complications
Minimal scarring
Shorter hospital stay
Better circulation of blood
Our cardiovascular team at CerebrumCor Clinic employs the most advanced imaging and catheter technologies to deliver the best possible care. Every procedure is customized according to the patient’s individual condition, health profile, and long-term goals.
Conditions Treated with Balloon Angioplasty
Balloon angioplasty is most often employed to treat:
Coronary artery disease (CAD)
Resulting from obstructions in the arteries that feed the heart.
Peripheral artery disease (PAD)
Involves constricted arteries in the extremities, particularly the legs.
Carotid artery disease
Involves the arteries that feed the brain, raising the risk of stroke.
Renal artery stenosis
Constriction of the arteries that feed the kidneys.
Our staff at CerebrumCor carefully examines every case to see if balloon angioplasty is the best course of treatment. It might be paired with other interventions in some cases for improved results.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Balloon angioplasty is often done under local anesthesia with light sedation. Here’s an overview of what to expect:
Preparation
You’ll have pre-procedure tests, such as blood work, EKGs, and imaging (like angiography).
Insertion
A catheter is inserted through a tiny incision, most commonly in the wrist or groin, and threaded through the arteries to the area of blockage.
Balloon Inflation
The balloon is then inflated to expand the artery and allow blood to circulate again. A stent is also released if necessary.
Recovery
Most patients are monitored for several hours and can go home the same day or after an overnight hospital stay, depending on their status.
Recovery and Aftercare
Following balloon angioplasty, it’s crucial to heed your physician’s advice. This usually involves:
Taking medications prescribed to prevent blood clots
Following up with appointments
Living a heart-healthy lifestyle, including diet and exercise
Controlling risk factors like high blood pressure, diabetes, and smoking
CerebrumCor Clinic offers comprehensive post-procedure care, including lifestyle counseling and ongoing cardiovascular monitoring to help prevent future complications.
