Cardiac Angioplasty

Queens NRI Hospital treats heart attack patients with the most effective and advanced procedure available, namely primary angioplasty. It is the preferred treatment for heart attack according to the American College of Cardiology.

Heart attacks are caused when blocked arteries prevent the heart from receiving oxygen. Traditional treatment uses drugs to dissolve blood clots. While effective, it does not treat the underlying cause of the blockage, resulting in possible re-hospitalization and further procedures. With primary angioplasty a balloon is inflated to open the clogged artery and a stainless steel wire mesh, called a stent, is inserted. This acts as a scaffold to keep the artery open. The result: blockages are completely cleared, heart damage is lessened, the risk of stroke and/or subsequent heart attack is reduced and the hospital stay is shortened.

"There are basically two ways to treat someone having a heart attack," "One way is to use clot-dissolving medications. But they only work about 70 percent of the time and do not address the underlying blockage. The safest way to treat an acute heart attack and avoid subsequent procedures is to open the blocked artery with a balloon and insert a stent. We have the trained personnel and the equipment to perform emergency primary angioplasty right away on our heart attack patients."

Patients experiencing symptoms of a heart attack are evaluated within minutes of arriving in the Accident & Emergency Department. Queens NRI Hospital offers 24X7 emergency primary angioplasty programme. Primary angioplasty complements the comprehensive cardiac services provided at the hospital - from the patient's doorstep and transport to the hospital with our cardiac ambulance units, to their safe return home.
