At IRCCS Ospedale San Raffaele, Balloon Angioplasty is performed using specialised catheter-based techniques and comprehensive pre-procedure cardiovascular assessment. Established in 1971, this SSN accredited hospital in milan, Italy has 1350 beds and offers advanced interventional cardiology services.

Balloon Angioplasty may be considered for patients with significant arterial narrowing that restricts blood flow and causes symptoms such as chest discomfort or reduced exercise tolerance. During the procedure, a catheter is introduced through a blood vessel, commonly in the wrist or groin, and guided toward the affected artery. The balloon is positioned across the narrowing and inflated to restore vessel diameter. Coronary angiography and other cardiovascular assessments help identify the location and severity of the blockage before treatment.
