How Angioplasty is done By the Best Stenting Doctor in India

Almost seventy percent of angioplasty requires the procedure of stenting. The procedure involves the insertion of a small metal cylinder into a blood vessel. This metal cylinder is known as stent. In India also angioplasty is done through this stenting technique. The best stenting doctor in India have already ensured that this method is quite a successful one and it is one of the advanced cardiology procedures for the treatment of heart diseases.

In the procedure of stenting a collapsed stent is put over a balloon that is situated at the tip of a thin tube known as the catheter. When the balloon inflates, the stent reinforces the artery walls by popping up. The stent is kept inside permanently while the balloon and the catheter are removed. Within a few weeks time the artery lining starts to grow over the stent.

There are basically two types of stents that are used in angioplasty. One is the bare metal stent which is plain and untreated metal cylinder. The other one is known as the drug eluting stents. They are coated with drugs before they are placed in the artery.

The Best Stenting Doctor in India prefers the drug eluting stents. Mainly stenting by using drug eluting stents is carried out in the best hospital in Faridabad. The drug eluting stent is basically called a coronary stent that is placed into a narrow and diseased coronary artery. Then the stent releases a drug slowly that is responsible for blocking cell proliferation. Cell proliferation prevents fibrosis which together with the clots can block the stented artery. This process is known as restenosis. The stent is placed inside the coronary artery by a cardiologist.

The heart patients can get benefitted from another material called dissolvable stent that is introduced in the coronary treatment and is well available at the Best Hospital in Faridabad. It is a natural substitute for the metallic stents.

Unlike the metallic stent which stays in the body lifelong, a dissolvable stent gets dissolved once the artery becomes normal again. Also a metallic stent has a lot of side effects like gastro intestinal bleeding. But with the new device there would be no such side effects. The stent would get dissolved in the body within a year.
