Coronary Angioplasty Treatment in Turkey
About Coronary Angioplasty
Key Highlights
-
Minimally invasive procedure with no large chest incisions required.Effectively restores blood flow to the heart, relieving chest pain (angina).Can be a life-saving emergency treatment during a heart attack.Typically involves a shorter hospital stay and faster recovery than bypass surgery.Uses stent placement to provide long-term support to keep the artery open.
Who is this surgery for?
- Acute Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack) to quickly open the blocked artery.
- Unstable Angina (chest pain that occurs even at rest or is worsening).
- Stable Angina that is not adequately controlled with medication.
- Positive results from a stress test or other diagnostics indicating significant coronary artery blockage.
- High-grade blockage (usually 70% or more) in one or more major coronary arteries.
How to prepare
- Undergo diagnostic tests like an angiogram to map the coronary arteries.
- Discuss all current medications with your doctor; you may need to stop blood thinners.
- Fast (no food or drink) for several hours before the procedure.
- Arrange for someone to drive you home after hospital discharge.
- Inform the medical team of any allergies, especially to iodine or contrast dye.
Risks & possible complications
- Bleeding or bruising at the catheter insertion site.
- Damage to the blood vessel used for catheter access.
- Allergic reaction to the contrast dye used during imaging.
- Blood clot formation within the treated artery or stent (stent thrombosis).
- Rare complications include heart attack, stroke, kidney injury from contrast dye, or need for emergency bypass surgery.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Initial monitoring for 4-6 hours in a recovery area; hospital stay is typically overnight.
- Keep the insertion site (wrist/groin) clean, dry, and avoid strenuous activity with that limb.
- Drink plenty of fluids to help flush the contrast dye from your kidneys.
- Adhere strictly to prescribed medications, especially antiplatelet drugs (like aspirin/clopidogrel) to prevent clots.

I'd been to a couple of...
I'd been to a couple of other doctors for this nagging fatigue and stomach pain. They said it was just stress. Dr. Babu Vinish actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a tricky thyroid issue affecting my digestion. He explained it all on a notepad, drawing little diagrams. I finally felt like someone had found the right puzzle pieces.
