Angioplasty Cost in Nizamabad: Stent Types, Procedure, Risks & Recovery – Guide by Dr P.V.L.N. Sai Ram

A Complete Patient-Friendly Guide to angioplasty in Nizamabad, stent types, procedure safety, recovery, and treatment costs at Wellness Hospitals.

Introduction

Heart disease remains one of the leading health concerns in India, and timely treatment is crucial—especially when dealing with heart blockage or narrowed coronary arteries. For patients in and around Nizamabad, angioplasty is one of the most effective and life-saving treatments to restore proper blood flow and prevent heart attacks.

I am Dr P.V.L.N. Sai Ram, Consultant Interventional Cardiologist at Wellness Hospitals, Nizamabad. In this guide, I explain the angioplasty procedure, stent types, risks, success rates, recovery timeline, and the cost of angioplasty in Nizamabad, based on my experience treating cardiac patients.

What Is Angioplasty?

Angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that opens blocked or narrowed coronary arteries. It helps:

• Improve blood flow to the heart

• Relieve chest pain (angina)

• Reduce the risk of a heart attack

How the Angioplasty Procedure Works

A thin catheter is inserted through a blood vessel in the wrist or groin. Once it reaches the blocked artery:

• A balloon is inflated to widen the artery

• A stent (a metal mesh tube) is placed to keep the artery open permanently

At Wellness Hospitals, we use advanced imaging systems and high-quality stents to ensure precision and patient safety.

Types of Angioplasty and Stents

Choosing the right stent is essential for long-term heart health. The commonly used types include:

1. Balloon Angioplasty (PTCA)
   Widening the artery without placing a stent.

2. Drug-Eluting Stents (DES)
   Coated with medication to prevent the artery from narrowing again.

3. Bare-Metal Stents (BMS)
   Basic metal stents—preferred in cases needing faster healing.

4. Bioabsorbable Stents
   Dissolve naturally over time, leaving the artery unobstructed.

How We Choose the Right Stent

Stent selection depends on:

• Artery condition

• Patient age

• Lifestyle

• Risk of re-narrowing

• Overall heart health

Risks and Success Rate of Angioplasty

Angioplasty is considered highly safe. Minor risks may include:

• Bleeding at the catheter insertion site

• Artery re-narrowing (rare with DES)

• Mild allergic reaction to contrast dye

• Rare complications like clot formation

Success Rate:
With modern technology and experienced specialists, the angioplasty success rate exceeds 95%.

Angioplasty Cost in Nizamabad

At Wellness Hospitals, the angioplasty cost in Nizamabad typically ranges from:

₹1.2 lakh to ₹2.5 lakh

Cost depends on:

• Type of stent used (DES, BMS, bioabsorbable)

• Number of affected arteries

• Duration of hospital stay

• Pre- and post-procedure tests

We follow transparent pricing with pre-procedure counselling to ensure clarity for patients and families.

Recovery After Angioplasty

Most patients recover quickly due to the minimally invasive technique.
