What is Angiography & Angioplasty?
Coronary Angiography is a diagnostic procedure used to examine the blood vessels supplying the heart and identify blockages or narrowing in the coronary arteries. It uses X-ray imaging and a contrast dye to create detailed pictures of the heart's blood vessels.
Angioplasty, also known as Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), is a minimally invasive procedure used to restore blood flow when a coronary artery is significantly narrowed or blocked. A small balloon may be used to open the blockage, and a stent may be placed to help keep the artery open.
At KK Swara Super Speciality Hospital in Boduppal, patients can receive comprehensive cardiac evaluation and interventional cardiology care under experienced cardiology specialists, with appropriate monitoring before and after the procedure.
