Angioplasty(PTCA) will cost between 1,50,000/- Rs to 2,60,000/- Rs in Delhi.

It includes cost of one stent, surgeon fees, 2 to 3 day stay at the hospital, food for the patient, drugs and other consumables. If more than one stent is required, then the cost will be charged additionally for each stent.

If you are considering coming to Delhi for angioplasty, then I would suggest you consider NABH/JCI accredited hospitals only.

Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA), also known as balloon angioplasty is an interventional procedure to open narrowed arteries or veins. It is a very effective and minimally invasive procedure to increase the blood flow to the heart. Healthy arteries have smooth inner walls and blood flows through them easily to all over the heart muscles. Clogging of arteries develop in a person due to accumulation of plaque over a period of time usually over 40 years of age, or at times even blocks the flow of blood to the heart. This greatly increases the risk of heart attack, stroke and even sudden cardiac arrest leads to death.

The different types of procedures used in coronary angioplasty (PTCA) to unblock or open the arteries are:-

1. A catheter with a small balloon tip is guided to the clogged artery. The balloon is then inflated inside the artery to push the plaque and stretch the artery open to increase blood flow to the heart.

2. A balloon catheter, placed over a guide wire puts a small mesh called Stent into the clogged coronary artery. This stent acts as a scaffold to support the inside of the coronary artery to prevent it from further narrowing of the artery. The balloon is then deflated and removed while the stent stays in place.

The estimated cost of coronary angioplasty (PTCA), depends upon the below mentioned factors in determining the overall cost.
