This is done in the cardiac catheterization laboratory or cath-lab by Interventional Cardiologists who insert a catheter through a wire into the narrowed blood vessels. Then the balloon is inflated to a fixed size expanding the vessel and then deflated and withdrawn. This procedure takes about one to three hours for completions.

Angioplasty Benefits in India

According to the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions, angioplasty performed for the heart attack treatment saves lives as it is an efficient way to get blood flowing to the heart again quickly. The sooner the doctor restores the blood supply the less damage there will be to the heart muscle. It also relieves chest pain and may prevent shortness of breath and other symptoms related to a heart attack. It may also cut the odds that you could need more invasive open-heart bypass surgery that requires significantly longer recovery time. As per the U.K. National Health Service, angioplasty may lower the risk of another heart attack and may also increase your chances of survival more than clot-busting medications.

Why Zambia Patients Travel to India for Angioplasty?

The Zambia Medical Association (ZMA) recently revealed that Zambia is not in a position to handle various medical complications especially in cardiac specialty without referring them abroad. Despite the fact that basic healthcare facilities are guaranteed in the constitution of Zambia, as per the latest WHO data, CVDs in Zambia reached 3,546 or 2.61% of total deaths. Currently Zambia has 1,500 doctors and has a shortage of 3,000 more with the most abnormal doctor-patient ratio which now stands at 1 doctor per 12,000 patients. Due to ignorance, inadequate infrastructure, refusal of practitioners to accept postings in the rural areas and less amount of funds, Zambia faces biting shortage of medical staff. The best practitioners have emigrated and the remainder medical staff does not have sufficient medical facilities and qualifications to even provide the basic healthcare needs for the ailing population of the country. This is why Zambia patients travel to India for Angioplasty.
