Angioplasti Koroner adalah Tindakan non pembedahan untuk membuka aliran pembuluh darah
jantung yang tersumbat. Kateter yang mempunyai ujung menyerupai balon akan dimasukkan melalui
pembuluh darah di pergelangan tangan atau pangkal paha melalui sayatan dan diarahkan menuju
pembuluh darah jantung yang tersumbat. Balon akan mengembang dan mengempis secara cepat
sehingga menghancurkan plak dan membuka aliran pembuluh darah. Sebuah tabung kecil (stent )
dapat diletakkan untuk mencegah pembuluh darah kembali tersumbat. Angioplasti memiliki
beberapa istilah misalnya PCI (Pecutaneous Coronary Intervention)/ PTCA (Percutaneous
Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty). Gambar :

beberapa kasus penderita dapat diobati dengan obat, namun Angioplasti koroner mungkin
diperlukan untuk melancarkan aliran darah ke jantung.

ENGLISH VERSION
ANGIOPLASTY:
Coronary Angioplasty is a non-surgical procedure to open up blocked heart blood vessels. A
catheter that has a balloon-like tip will be inserted through a vein in the wrist or groin through
the incision and directed toward the blocked heart blood vessel. The balloon will inflate and
deflate quickly, destroying plaque and opening up blood vessels. A small tube (stent) may be
placed to prevent the blood vessel from becoming blocked again. Angioplasty has several
terms such as PCI (Pecutaneous Coronary Intervention) / PTCA (Percutaneous Transluminal
Coronary Angioplasty). Image : https://yofiesetiawan.com/images/2019/11/angioplasti-pair-

When is Coronary Angioplasty necessary?
- Angioplasty should be performed during a heart attack to reduce heart damage.
- If the chest pain is getting worse
-If the complaint does not improve with medication and lifestyle changes
What are the Risks of Coronary Angioplasty?
Coronary angioplasty is less risky than coronary bypass and is generally minor, such as
bruising to the arm or groin area. More severe complications usually occur in patients who
are elderly (>75 years) and have many co-morbidities such as diabetes, decreased kidney
function and decreased heart function, for example.
- Clogged blood vessels Back
-Formation of blood clots that can go to blood vessels and cause stroke
- Bleeding
- Damage to blood vessels
- Allergy to contrast agents
- Heart rhythm disturbances (arrhythmias)
some cases of sufferers can be treated with medication, but Coronary angioplasty may be necessary
to promote blood flow to the heart.
Advantages of Coronary Angioplasty :

Before action:
1. The patient will be explained by a cardiologist about the steps of the action and the risks that may
arise and the patient will sign an action consent form if he agrees to take the action.

2. The patient will be asked to perform laboratory examinations, cardiac records (ECG) and chest X-
rays
4. The patient will be asked to fast for 6 hours before the procedure.

5. Part of the body will be inserted into the catheter and will be asked to remove all the jewelry
worn.
6. Then the patient will be transferred to the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory (Cath Lab) to lie on
the examination table, where your heart rate and blood pressure will be monitored. (Picture of
catlab room)
7. The doctor will give local anesthesia where the catheter is attached (groin area / arm area).
After Coronary Angioplasty, what are the things to pay attention to?
- The patient should not bend the arm for at least 4 hours if the incision is made in the arm or for 12
hours if the incision is in the groin.
- If there are no complaints, usually the patient can go home the next day
