Excellence in Coronary
Artery Care

Restoring healthy blood flow to the heart through minimally invasive techniques, expert intervention, and advanced cardiac care.

Understanding Angioplasty

Angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to open blocked or narrowed coronary arteries and improve blood flow to the heart muscle. A thin catheter with a small balloon is guided to the narrowed artery.

At St. Thomas Heart Centre, angioplasty procedures are performed by experienced interventional cardiologists using advanced imaging and precision-guided techniques for optimal outcomes. Angioplasty is commonly recommended for patients with coronary artery disease, chest pain, or heart attack caused by arterial blockages.
