What Is Coronary Angioplasty?

Coronary Angioplasty is also known as percutaneous coronary intervention, is a minimally invasive procedure used to unclog plaqued heart arteries. It involves inserting a tiny ballon thru the groin and inflating to help widen the clogged artery.

Most of the time, Angioplasty is combined with a permanent placement of a stent (or a small wire mesh tube) to keep the artery open and prevent the narrowing of the blood vessel. Nowadays, stents are sometimes coated with medications (drug-eluting stents) to keep the stented artery open while others still use the bare-metal stents.

 

Best candidates are patients who have:

• Atherosclerosis (fat plaques inside the heart's blood vessels)
• Worsening cardiac conditions even when lifestyle changes or medications aren't enough to improve your health
• A heart attack (myocardial infarction)
• Cardiac conditions or coronary stenoses
• Needs restenosis (stented blood vessel is clogged again)
• worsening angina (chest pain)

 

Coronary Angioplasty Cost

The package costs $9,000-$11,000 USD and it already includes diagnostic tests such as echocardiography, cardiac CT and angiography and a 1-night hospital stay. However, if stenting is required, the patient needs to stay in the hospital for 3-5 days and an additional $3,000-$4,000 will be included in the total bill. The total cost for tests and 1 stent procedure is $15,000-$19,000.
