Coronary Angioplasty & Stent Placement In Mumbai
Advanced Treatment for Blocked Heart Arteries
When a heart artery becomes blocked, the heart muscle begins to suffer damage within minutes. Early treatment with angioplasty can quickly restore blood flow and significantly reduce the risk of permanent heart damage.

Key Benefit: Improves blood flow to the heart and reduces risk of heart attack without open-heart surgery
What is Coronary Angioplasty & Stent Placement?
Coronary angioplasty with stent placement is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat blocked or narrowed heart arteries caused by coronary artery disease. It helps restore normal blood flow to the heart and reduces the risk of heart attack.
During the procedure, a cardiologist inserts a thin catheter through a blood vessel in the wrist or groin and guides it to the blocked artery. A small balloon is inflated to open the artery, and a stent (a tiny metal mesh tube) is placed to keep the artery open and maintain healthy blood flow.
This treatment helps relieve chest pain, improve heart function, and allow patients to return to normal activities faster, often without the need for open-heart surgery.
When Should You Consult a Cardiologist?
You should seek medical evaluation if you experience:
- Chest pain or pressure
- Shortness of breath
- Pain spreading to arm, jaw, or back
- Unexplained fatigue
- Symptoms during physical activity
Early diagnosis can prevent serious heart complications.
Is This Treatment Right for You?
This treatment may be recommended if you have:
- Severe coronary artery blockage
- Persistent chest pain (angina)
- Heart attack or high risk of heart attack
- Blockages detected during coronary angiography
- Poor response to medications
If you experience chest pain, breathlessness, or fatigue during exertion, consult a cardiologist to determine whether angioplasty is required.
Why Early Treatment Matters?
When a heart artery becomes severely narrowed or blocked, the heart muscle begins to lose oxygen. Without timely treatment, this can lead to permanent heart damage or heart attack.
Early intervention with coronary angioplasty can:
- Restore blood flow quickly
- Reduce heart muscle damage
- Prevent major cardiac complications
- Improve long-term heart health
Early diagnosis & timely treatment can
reduce heart attack deaths by up to 30%.
Patients who receive early hospital treatment have more than twice
the survival advantage compared with late presenters.

Our Approach to Coronary Angioplasty
At Shree Hospitals, coronary angioplasty procedures are performed using a patient-centered and evidence-based approach. Our cardiology team focuses on accurate diagnosis, careful treatment planning, and precise intervention to ensure the best possible outcomes for each patient.
24×7 Emergency Care
Accurate Diagnosis Before Treatment
Our cardiologists perform detailed cardiac evaluation using tests such as ECG, echocardiography, and coronary angiography to identify the location and severity of artery blockages before treatment planning.
Precision-Guided Angioplasty
Procedures are performed in advanced cardiac catheterization laboratories using imaging technologies that help cardiologists accurately place stents and restore blood flow to the heart.
Experienced Interventional Specialists
Our interventional cardiologists are experienced in managing coronary artery disease and performing angioplasty procedures, including complex coronary blockages.
Comprehensive Cardiac Care
From diagnosis to recovery, patients receive coordinated care from cardiologists, cardiac nurses, and rehabilitation specialists to support safe recovery and long-term heart health.

Cardiac Treatments at Shree Hospitals
We offer rapid PCI (angioplasty and stenting) to open blocked arteries, assisted by tools such as IVUS and OCT imaging for precise stent placement. High‑risk patients receive round‑the‑clock cardiac care in dedicated ICU units.
Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS)
IVUS provides detailed images of the inside of arteries, helping cardiologists visualize blockages, assess plaque, and plan stent placements more effectively for improved outcomes.
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
OCT technology offers high-resolution imaging of coronary arteries, providing deeper insights into plaque buildup and helping us make precise decisions for angioplasty
Cardiac MRI
Non-invasive and detailed, our cardiac MRI allows us to assess heart function, structure, and blood flow. This advanced imaging is essential for diagnosing complex conditions like heart failure and cardiomyopathies.
Step by Step process of Coronary Angioplasty
& Stent Placement
Collectively 5000+ angioplasties are performed by our specialists over 15+ yeats
1. Diagnosis & Treatment Planning
Your cardiologist first confirms the blockage using tests such as ECG, blood tests, and coronary angiography. Based on the results, the medical team decides whether angioplasty with stent placement is the most suitable treatment.
2. Preparation for the Procedure
The patient is taken to the cardiac catheterization laboratory (Cath Lab). Local anesthesia is given, and the patient remains awake but comfortable throughout the procedure.
3. Catheter Navigation to the Heart
A thin flexible tube called a catheter is inserted through an artery in the wrist or groin and carefully guided to the blocked coronary artery using advanced imaging technology.
4. Balloon Angioplasty to Open the Artery
A small balloon attached to the catheter is inflated at the blocked area. This gently widens the narrowed artery and improves blood flow to the heart muscle.
5. Stent Placement to Keep the Artery Open
A stent (small mesh metal tube) is placed inside the artery to keep it open and prevent the blockage from returning. Modern stents often release medication to reduce the risk of re-narrowing.
6. Monitoring & Recovery
After the procedure, the catheter is removed and the patient is monitored in a cardiac care unit. Most patients stay in the hospital for 1–2 days and can return to daily activities within a few days with proper medical guidance
