Coronary artery narrowing or blockage is a common and highly treatable cardiac condition. Through coronary angioplasty and drug-eluting stent (DES) placement, we can re-establish optimal myocardial perfusion to ensure natural heart muscle function. Precisely, this procedure helps reopen narrowed arteries.
At Aster Hospitals, angioplasty with stent procedure in Dubai is performed by our interventional cardiology team that delivers both emergency and planned procedures using advanced cath lab technology and evidence-based protocols.
Angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure to open narrowed or blocked blood vessels and involves inserting a catheter through a blood vessel to the site of the blockage. Angioplasty surgery is performed with or without stent placement, depending on the patient’s individual anatomy and condition. A heart catheterisation stent is the tool used to deliver the intervention.
We recommend angioplasty for patients with-
The most common sign that patients experience is chest pain or pressure (angina) that feels like -
Patients should connect with one of our cardiologists when experiencing persistent chest pain, breathlessness [without a clear cause], or episodes of fatigue that they cannot explain.
Prior to scheduling angioplasty intervention, our clinical team performs diagnostic steps including ECG, coronary angiogram and stress tests.
Individuals with diabetes, high cholesterol levels, a habit of smoking or a history of elevated blood pressure carry an increased risk of artery narrowing.
Angioplasty and stent placement are carried out by a specialised cardiac team in a catheterisation lab. The steps are:
When performed appropriately, angioplasty and stent placement deliver noticeable benefits, such as:
Recovery is a critical phase, and our professional cardiac rehabilitation team ensures patients receive care that supports prompt healing, lifestyle change and long‑term wellbeing.
Selecting the right centre for your heart health matters. At Aster Hospitals, we believe our combination of expertise, infrastructure and patient‑centred care sets a high standard.
Our team of cardiologists and other clinicians aid patients in preparing practically and emotionally for the procedure. Here are the critical checkpoints patients should consider before the procedure.
Recovery time varies according to the complexity of your case. During this recovery process, be sure to schedule a follow‑up appointment with cardiologists in Dubai accordingly.
The angioplasty procedure uses a catheter to reach the narrowed artery and inflate a balloon to open it. A bypass surgery redirects blood around blocked arteries through grafts.
Heart stents placed during the heart stent procedure are designed to remain permanently. Their performance depends on your lifestyle changes, medication adherence and follow‑up care.
Yes. Angioplasty and stent placement can reduce the likelihood of a future heart attack. Our cardiology hospital in Dubai supports heart patients in both treatment and prevention phases.
