What Is Coronary Angioplasty?
Coronary angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to open blocked or narrowed coronary arteries and restore normal blood flow to the heart muscle. A thin catheter with a small balloon is guided to the blockage site via an artery in the wrist or groin. The balloon inflates to widen the artery, followed by stent deployment to keep it open permanently.
- No open-heart surgery required
- Performed under gentle local anaesthesia
- Radial artery approach (through wrist) for faster discharge
Signs You May Need Coronary Angioplasty
Recognizing early cardiovascular warning signs helps prevent permanent heart muscle damage and ensures timely medical intervention.
Chest pain or tightness (angina), especially during exertion
Breathlessness on climbing stairs or walking short distances
An abnormal treadmill (TMT) or stress test result
A blockage identified during coronary angiography
Chest pain following a heart attack requiring emergency intervention
Types of Angioplasty Performed by Dr. Amit Pendharkar
Balloon Angioplasty
Used to widen a narrowed artery using a balloon catheter, often as the first step before stent placement.
Drug-Eluting Stent (DES) Angioplasty
A medicated stent is placed to keep the artery open and reduce the chance of the blockage recurring — the most commonly used approach today.
Primary Angioplasty (Heart Attack Care)
Emergency angioplasty performed during an acute heart attack to restore blood flow as quickly as possible and limit damage to the heart muscle.
Complex Angioplasty — Left Main, Bifurcation & CTO
Dr. Pendharkar has specific expertise in technically demanding cases, including left main artery disease, bifurcation lesions, and chronic total occlusions (CTO), using advanced tools such as IVUS and Rotablator.

The Angioplasty Procedure — What to Expect
Pre-procedure evaluation: ECG, blood tests, and a review of your angiography report
The procedure is performed in the cath lab under local anaesthesia, usually taking 30–90 minutes
A catheter is inserted through the wrist or groin and guided to the blocked artery
The balloon is inflated and a stent placed to restore normal blood flow
Most patients are observed in hospital for 24–48 hours before discharge
Recovery & Aftercare After Angioplasty
Most patients resume light daily activity within a few days and normal routines within one to two weeks, depending on their overall health. Dr. Pendharkar prescribes antiplatelet medication to prevent clotting around the stent and outlines a follow-up schedule, along with lifestyle guidance on diet, activity, and cardiac risk-factor control.
