A Heart Attack, and cardiovascular disease are by far the leading cause of death in adults between the ages of 40-60. Heart attack may be acute and dramatic or it may be very mild in symptoms. It is important to recognise the symptoms of an heart attack and rush to the hospital for a cardiac assessment. Every minute counts, and earlier response is always the best bet at saving life.

It is not uncommon nowadays for seeming healthy and young people to have a heart attack.

Heart attacks may be very complex but most often, lives can be saved when patient is able to come to the right team at the right time. We at “Palna” Bhatnagar Hospital are committed to saving lives and saving hearts.

Drug Eluting Balloon : A new concept. 
First time in Roorkee – Heart Attack patient’s life is saved by stentless opening. 
Advanced German B Braun balloon was used to save this patient and ensure that blood flow was restored without placing a stent thereby conserving the vascuature of the patient. 

PTCA

Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty is a minimally invasive technique designed to alleviate blockages in coronary arteries, thereby enhancing blood circulation to the cardiac muscle. In this procedure, a slender tube known as a catheter is inserted into a blood vessel and navigated to the obstructed coronary artery.

At the tip of the catheter is a small balloon. Once positioned correctly, the balloon is inflated at the site of the narrowing within the artery, compressing the plaque or thrombus against the arterial walls. This action creates additional space for improved blood flow.

During the procedure, the healthcare professional employs fluoroscopy, a specialised form of X-ray that provides real-time imaging, akin to an X-ray “movie.” This technique enables the provider to identify blockages in the coronary arteries as a contrast dye is introduced and observed moving through the vessels, a process referred to as coronary angiography.
