Best Stent Surgery In Kandivali

Stent Surgery, also known as coronary stenting, is a medical procedure designed to address narrowed or blocked blood vessels, particularly in the coronary arteries supplying the heart muscle. Indicated for coronary artery disease, the procedure involves the insertion of a catheter equipped with a deflated balloon into the affected blood vessel. Through careful guidance, the balloon is then inflated, compressing the plaque and widening the arterial space. Subsequently, a stent—a small, mesh-like tube—is placed at the site of the blockage. Upon inflation, the stent expands, providing structural support to keep the artery open. There are two main types of stents: drug-eluting stents, coated with medication to prevent re-narrowing, and bare-metal stents, without a drug coating. Post-surgery, patients often receive antiplatelet medications to prevent blood clots. Stent surgery is a well-established and effective intervention, offering improved blood flow and symptom relief, and it is part of a broader strategy for managing cardiovascular health, including lifestyle modifications and ongoing medical care. Regular follow-up appointments are essential to monitor the stent's effectiveness and adjust treatment as needed. Dr. Pranil Gangurde is Best stent Surgery in Kandivali.
