Angioplasty and Stenting in India
Angioplasty opens a narrowed or blocked heart artery with a small balloon, and a stent (a tiny mesh tube) keeps it open. It restores blood flow to the heart muscle without open surgery.
Typical hospital stay: 1 to 3 days
Time to plan in India: 5 to 7 days
Who needs it?
Angina (chest pain) caused by blocked arteries
A heart attack, where it can be lifesaving
Blockages in one or two arteries suitable for stenting
How it's done
A catheter is inserted through the wrist or groin under local anaesthesia
A balloon is inflated at the blockage to widen the artery
A drug-coated stent is placed to hold the artery open
The procedure usually takes 1 to 2 hours
Recovery timeline
Day 1: walking within hours, monitoring overnight
Week 1: light daily activity, no heavy lifting
Week 2 to 4: back to work and normal routine
Long term: daily medicines to protect the stent and lifestyle changes

FAQs
How long do stents last? A stent stays in permanently; keeping the artery healthy depends on medicines and lifestyle.
Angioplasty or bypass? It depends on how many arteries are blocked and where; your cardiologist recommends the best option for your case.
