Patient Testimonial for Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA)

Testimonial by Mr. Thomas Babu Veleti

Treatment for: Left Ventricular Dysfunction
Treated by: Dr. G. Ramesh
Speciality:
Patient location: Secunderabad

Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) is a procedure used in the treatment of left ventricular dysfunction, which refers to the impaired function of the left ventricle, the main pumping chamber of the heart. Left ventricular dysfunction can result from various causes, such as coronary artery disease, heart attack, or cardiomyopathy, and it can lead to symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, and fluid retention.

During a PTCA procedure, a thin catheter with a balloon at its tip is inserted into a blocked or narrowed coronary artery. The balloon is then inflated, compressing the plaque buildup and widening the artery to restore blood flow to the heart muscle. In some cases, a stent, a small metal mesh tube, may be placed to help keep the artery open. PTCA is a minimally invasive procedure performed under local anaesthesia, typically with a short hospital stay.

Following the procedure, patients are typically monitored for a brief period to ensure stability and address any immediate concerns. Medications such as antiplatelet drugs may be prescribed to prevent blood clots and promote healing. Cardiac rehabilitation programs may also be recommended to aid in recovery, including exercise, lifestyle modifications, and education on heart-healthy habits.

Mr. Thomas Babu Veleti from Secunderabad successfully underwent PTCA for Left Ventricular Dysfunction at Yashoda Hospitals, Hyderabad, under the supervision of Dr. G. Ramesh, Senior Consultant Interventional Cardiologist.
