Angioplasty, also known as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), is a common and effective heart procedure performed to treat coronary artery disease. During angioplasty, a small balloon is inserted into the blocked artery to widen it and restore normal blood circulation. Often, a stent (a tiny wire mesh tube) is placed to keep the artery open long-term.
With India’s advanced cardiac hospitals, experienced cardiologists, and affordable medical packages, international patients save up to 80% on angioplasty compared to Western countries without compromising on quality or safety.

Angioplasty is performed under local anaesthesia and guided by advanced imaging technology.
Procedure steps include:
Patients usually remain awake during the procedure and can walk within hours post-surgery.
After angioplasty, patients are usually kept in the hospital for one to two days for observation in the ICU or cardiac ward. During this period, doctors monitor heart function, blood pressure, and overall recovery.
Most patients can return to their normal daily activities within five to seven days after the procedure. It’s essential to avoid heavy exertion or strenuous exercise during this period to allow the artery to heal properly.
Full recovery typically takes two to three weeks, after which patients can resume their normal lifestyle. Regular follow-up appointments, adherence to prescribed medications, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle are essential for long-term heart health.
