Angioplasty in Al Nahda, Dubai

Angioplasty is a procedure used to open narrowed or blocked arteries in the heart. Using a thin tube and a small balloon, doctors gently widen the artery so blood can flow more freely. For many patients, it’s a procedure that eases chest pain, reduces the risk of heart attack, and restores peace of mind.

There are three different types of angioplasty: 

• Balloon Angioplasty: A small balloon is inflated to open the blocked artery.
• Stent Placement: A tiny mesh tube is inserted to keep the artery open long-term.
• High Pressure Balloon Angioplasty: Used when arteries are more stubbornly blocked, applying extra pressure to ensure proper blood flow.
   

During angioplasty, a thin catheter is guided through a blood vessel—usually in the wrist or groin—up to the heart. Once the blockage is reached, a balloon is inflated to open the artery, and often a stent is placed to keep it open. The procedure usually takes 30 minutes to a few hours, and most patients are awake but sedated for comfort.

Recovery is often faster than people expect. Many patients go home within a day or two and return to light activities soon after. We provide guidance on medication, diet, and lifestyle changes to help ensure the artery stays clear and the heart remains healthy. For elderly patients or those with other health conditions, recovery is tailored with extra support.

Like any procedure, angioplasty has risks such as bleeding, infection, or the artery narrowing again. Serious complications are rare, especially when performed by experienced heart surgeons. Our team ensures every patient is monitored closely before, during, and after surgery for maximum safety.
