Every year, thousands of patients from Africa travel to India for advanced cardiac care, including heart stent surgery (also known as coronary angioplasty). India is globally recognized for offering world-class heart treatments at a fraction of the cost compared to Western countries. At MedExpert India, we help you access the best hospitals and top cardiologists in India while ensuring a smooth, stress-free experience.
What is Heart Stent Surgery?
Heart stent surgery, also called percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), is a non-surgical procedure used to open narrowed or blocked arteries that supply blood to the heart. A tiny metal or drug-eluting mesh tube (called a stent) is inserted to keep the artery open and restore normal blood flow.
When Do You Need a Heart Stent?
You may need a heart stent if you have:
- Chest pain (angina) due to blocked arteries
- Coronary artery disease (CAD)
- A recent heart attack
- Blockages found during a stress test or angiography
