Home/ News / Coronary Angioplasty: Know All About The Precautions One Has To Take After This Surgery

Dr Ajit Menon, Senior Interventional Cardiologist, Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital, says, “Coronary angioplasty is a way of treating a blockage in a coronary artery by using a balloon and subsequently, if necessary, the use of stents to stop. The procedure per se only opens up an artery, which is blocked, but it does not take care of the entire atherosclerotic process, which is an ongoing process in a patient. The patient is susceptible to have atherosclerosis, which means buildup of cholesterol in the arteries of the heart and other areas of the body. This can continue to happen in spite of the angioplasty.”
