At Cardio Plus Heart Care Clinic, led by the expert cardiologist Dr. Jignesh Patel, we are committed to providing state-of-the-art interventions for cardiovascular health, including carotid and renal angioplasty, carotid and renal angiography. These procedures are pivotal for patients with narrowed or blocked arteries in the regions supplying the brain and kidneys, helping prevent stroke and improve kidney function.
What Is Carotid / Renal Angioplasty?
Carotid and renal angioplasty are minimally invasive procedures designed to widen narrowed or obstructed arteries in the neck and kidneys, respectively. These teratogens are often accompanied by the placement of a stent, a small mesh tube that helps keep the artery open, ensuring proper blood flow.
How Does Carotid / Renal Angioplasty Work?
- Access and Catheterization: The procedure begins with the insertion of a catheter into an artery, typically through a small incision in the groin.
- Balloon Inflation: Once the catheter reaches the site of the narrowing, a balloon at its tip is inflated to stretch open the artery.
- Stent Placement: Often, a stent is placed at the site of the blockage to prevent the artery from narrowing again.
- Completion: The balloon is deflated, and the catheter is withdrawn. The stent remains in place to keep the artery open.
What Conditions Can Carotid / Renal Angioplasty Treat?
Carotid Angioplasty: Primarily used to treat carotid artery disease, which can lead to stroke.
Renal Angioplasty: Effective for renal artery stenosis, which can cause high blood pressure and kidney damage.
What Are the Benefits of Carotid Renal Angioplasty?
- Improved Blood Flow: These procedures can significantly improve blood flow in the affected arteries, reducing the risk of stroke and aiding kidney function.
- Minimally Invasive: The minimally invasive nature of angioplasty allows for shorter recovery times and less discomfort than traditional surgery.
- Prevention of Further Issues: By addressing the blockages, angioplasty can prevent more serious complications associated with reduced blood flow.
What Happens After Carotid / Renal Angioplasty?
Patients usually stay in the hospital for observation overnight. Recovery includes follow-up visits to monitor the success of the angioplasty and the condition of the stent.
