Angioplasty & Stent Treatment in Jammu

– Dr. Swati Mahajan (Fortis Escorts, Delhi)

Why Angioplasty & Stent Treatment Matter in Jammu

Angioplasty (with stent placement) is one of the most common and effective treatments for blocked coronary arteries that cause chest pain or heart attacks.

In Jammu, rising cases of high blood pressure, diabetes, and sedentary lifestyles have increased the need for angioplasty and stenting. Many patients delay treatment thinking they must travel far to Delhi or other big cities.

Dr. Swati Mahajan simplifies this by offering expert consultation in Jammu and smooth referral to Fortis Escorts Heart Institute, Okhla, New Delhi for the actual procedure.

When Do You Need Angioplasty?

Angioplasty is recommended when:

• You have severe chest pain (angina) that limits daily activities
• You have had a heart attack (STEMI/NSTEMI) and need urgent treatment
• Tests like angiography or CT-angiography show major blockages in coronary arteries

Dr. Mahajan evaluates patients in Jammu using medical history, ECG, echo, and other tests to decide whether angioplasty with stent is required or if bypass surgery is a better option.

How Angioplasty & Stent Work

Angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure performed in a cath lab.

• A thin tube (catheter) is inserted through the wrist or groin
• It is guided to the heart arteries
• A balloon is inflated to open the blockage
• A stent (metal mesh) is placed to keep the artery open

This is usually a day-care or 1–2 day hospital stay procedure.

Drug-eluting stents help reduce the chances of artery narrowing again.

Dr. Swati Mahajan performs complex angioplasties such as:

• Left-main angioplasty
• Bifurcation lesions
• Calcified blockages

She uses advanced imaging techniques like IVUS and OCT at Fortis Escorts for high precision and better long-term results.
