Coronary interventions · Thane
Open arteries.
Open possibilities.
When the arteries that feed your heart become narrowed or blocked, timely assessment makes all the difference. Dr. Dhanse offers specialist evaluation and minimally invasive treatment, explained clearly at every step.
Overview
Treatment for narrowed or blocked heart arteries.
Coronary artery disease develops when fatty deposits narrow the arteries supplying blood to the heart muscle. This can cause chest discomfort, breathlessness, or — if an artery blocks suddenly — a heart attack.
Coronary interventions are catheter-based procedures, performed through a small puncture in the wrist or groin, that help restore blood flow. They include coronary angiography to look at the arteries, and angioplasty with stenting where treatment is advised.
Not everyone with a narrowing needs a procedure. Medicines, lifestyle changes or surgery may be better for some people — the recommendation is always based on your individual evaluation.

About coronary interventions.
No. Many narrowings are managed well with medicines and lifestyle changes. A procedure is recommended only when it is likely to help, after individual clinical evaluation.
Angiography and angioplasty are usually done under local anaesthesia through the wrist or groin. Most people feel pressure rather than pain, and the team will keep you comfortable throughout.
This varies from person to person. Many people return to light routine activity within days, but your doctor will give guidance specific to your procedure and health.
Ready when you are.
A thoughtful conversation can be the start of better heart health.
