Among so many conditions and diseases, illnesses related to the heart have become one of the major ones. Related to that, the heart requires different types of treatments and surgeries. Peripheral Angioplasty is one of those. It is when arteries are blocked. What it does is it restores blood flow. It is however a very minimally invasive operation.
At Eternal Hospital, we pride ourselves on our top-notch care and in providing this surgery. Also, we have Dr. Samin K. Sharma leading the hospital. He is a leading name in the cardiology field. Apart from that, we also have a dedicated team comprising nurses, assistant surgeons, and doctors. So, with us, you can experience world-class medical care.
What Can You Expect During A Peripheral Angioplasty Procedure?
If your doctor has decided that you need a Peripheral Angioplasty, there is nothing to be afraid of. Here is what you can expect the operation to be like. You should remember that an operation isn’t just about the procedure itself. It encompasses the days preceding it, the procedure itself and the post-care procedures and recovery. With Dr Samin K. Sharma’s guidance and expertise, you will be guided through thorough care and a successful angioplasty.
Preparation
We start by assessing your condition thoroughly. You will receive local anesthesia to numb the area. This is necessary so that you don’t experience any pain. Mild sedation helps you stay relaxed and calm. Our hospital staff will explain every step clearly. This will help you feel comfortable and also stay informed.
The Procedure
First, a small incision will be made. It will be generally done in your leg or arm. Then, we insert a thin tube. This is called a catheter that is inserted into your artery. Then, we will be using X-ray guidance. This is done to navigate the catheter to the blockage. A balloon at the catheter’s tip is then inflated. This opens up the blocked artery, improving blood flow. Mostly, we place a stent in heart to keep the artery open. The entire angioplasty procedure is precise and controlled.
Monitoring and Care
We monitor everything closely with advanced technology, be it your heart activity or post-anesthesia care. The procedure usually takes about one to two hours. You will stay awake but comfortable throughout. Our team ensures you are at ease. After the procedure, you’ll move to a recovery area. Nurses will monitor your vitals closely.
Post-Procedure
Expect to stay for a few hours post-procedure. You might feel some soreness at the incision site. Our staff will provide detailed aftercare instructions. Rest and avoid heavy lifting for a short period. Also, we can expect that you will be returning to normal activities within a week. For that, we will schedule some follow-up appointments. This will check how you are recovering.

How Long Does It Take To Recover After Peripheral Angioplasty?
This is what a recovery process looks like after a Peripheral Angioplasty:
Immediate Aftercare
Right after the angioplasty procedure, you will rest in a recovery area. Nurses will closely monitor your vitals. Expect to stay for a few hours. We want to ensure you’re stable before going home. You might feel a bit sore at the incision site. That’s completely normal. Therefore, our staff will provide pain relief if needed.
Short-term Recovery
For the first few days, take it easy. Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activities. Follow our post-procedure instructions closely. This ensures a smooth recovery. You might need to adjust your daily routine slightly. That means being mindful of your activities.
Long-term Care
Attend all follow-up appointments. We’ll check your progress with the stent in heart and answer any questions. You will, however, need to adopt some lifestyle changes. To do this, you will have to eat a healthy diet. Secondly, you have to exercise daily, the intensity of which may be guided by your doctor. Quit smoking if you smoke. This will help prevent future artery blockages.
