Introduction
You have decided to undergo Angioplasty. But a nagging question remains: “How do I know the stent fits perfectly?” Standard Angiography gives doctors a “shadow” view of your arteries. Sometimes, that isn’t enough. IVUS Guided Angioplasty in Kolkata
To guarantee a perfect result, you need to see inside the artery. Dr. Avishek Saha, a specialist in precision coronary intervention, explains IVUS Guided Angioplasty in Kolkata—the technology that prevents stent failure.
1. It Is Like “HD Camera” Inside Your Heart IVUS Guided Angioplasty in Kolkata
Standard Angiography is like looking at a tunnel from the outside. You can’t see the cracks on the walls.
- The Technology: IVUS (Intravascular Ultrasound) involves a tiny ultrasound camera tip that goes inside the artery.
- The View: It gives Dr. Saha a 360-degree cross-sectional view of the vessel, showing the exact thickness of the plaque and the true size of the artery.
2. It Prevents “Under-Expansion” (The #1 Risk) IVUS Guided Angioplasty in Kolkata
Why do stents fail? Often because they weren’t fully opened against the artery wall.
- The Problem: On a normal X-ray, a stent might look fully open when it is actually oval or loose.
- The IVUS Fix: IVUS reveals these gaps instantly. Dr. Saha can then use a high-pressure balloon to expand the stent perfectly, locking it into the vessel wall.
3. Essential for Complex Blockages IVUS Guided Angioplasty in Kolkata
Not all blockages are simple.
- Left Main Disease: The main artery supplying the heart. A mistake here is fatal.
- Bifurcations: Blockages where arteries branch out.
- The Rule: For these high-risk cases, IVUS Guided Angioplasty in Kolkata is not a luxury; it is a medical necessity to ensure the side branches remain open.
4. Lower Risk of Stent Thrombosis (Clotting)
A poorly fitted stent is a magnet for blood clots.
- The Danger: If a clot forms on the stent (Thrombosis), it causes a massive heart attack.
- The Safety: Studies show that IVUS-guided stenting significantly reduces the risk of clotting and restenosis (re-blockage) compared to traditional methods.
5. It Determines the “Landing Zone” IVUS Guided Angioplasty in Kolkata
Placing a stent on “diseased” tissue is bad practice.
- The Precision: IVUS helps Dr. Saha find the healthy parts of the artery (the Landing Zone) to start and end the stent. This ensures the stent grips healthy tissue, lasting much longer.
