INVASIVE CARDIOLOGY

Radial Angioplasty & Stenting

Minimally invasive arterial clearance via wrist access

Precision stent placement via the radial artery in the wrist, enabling faster recovery, minimal bleeding risk, and immediate post-procedure mobilization.

Treatment Overview & Clinical Rationale

Radial Angioplasty is the gold standard for restoring blood flow to blocked coronary arteries. Unlike traditional femoral access through the groin, Dr. Manjinder Sandhu accesses the heart via the radial artery in the wrist. Utilizing advanced intravascular imaging (IVUS / OCT) and Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR), blocked arteries are dilated with microscopic balloons and sealed with drug-eluting stents.

Who Needs This Treatment?

  • Patients with severe chest pain (angina) resistant to medication
  • Individuals experiencing acute myocardial infarction (heart attack)
  • Patients with multi-vessel coronary artery blockages detected on angiography
  • High-risk cardiac patients seeking wrist-access procedure with quick discharge

The Clinical Procedure

Performed under local anesthesia in an advanced catheterization lab. A micro-catheter is guided through the wrist artery to the heart. Blockages are visualized under fluoroscopy, measured with FFR/IVUS, pre-dilated, and precision-paved with state-of-the-art drug-eluting stents.

Expected Recovery Timeline

Patients can sit up and walk within 1-2 hours after wrist band compression. Most patients are discharged home within 24 hours.

Key Benefits & Safety Profile

99% lower bleeding complications compared to groin entry
No mandatory 8-hour flat bedrest requirement
Same-day or 24-hour hospital discharge
Painless wrist puncture under localized numbing

Frequently Asked Questions about Radial Angioplasty & Stenting

Yes. Clinical trial data shows wrist-access radial angioplasty significantly reduces access-site bleeding, vascular complications, and hospital stay length.
Clinical & Pricing Disclaimer: Treatment cost depends on individual diagnostic findings, stent selection, imaging guidance (IVUS/OCT), and stay duration. Request a written personal estimate during your consultation.
