Former Bangladesh cricket captain Tamim Iqbal suffered a heart attack during the Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League match, after which doctors performed an emergency angioplasty.

According to news reports, when Tamim was a pioneer in the ground, in one of the first innings of the game, he began to feel discomfort in his chest and was immediately rushed to the hospital. The doctors said that Tamim was in critical condition and the tests confirmed the obstruction of their arteries. A medical bulletin revealed, “He returned to us in a critical condition. We can call it a heart attack, and we later went to an angiogram and angioplasty to overcome the obstruction. The medical process has gone smoothly. She is currently subject to observation,” a medical bulletin said.

What is angioplasty?

Angioplasty is a process of opening the blocked arteries for smooth flow of blood to the heart. According to experts, it usually treats atherosclerosis – a collection of plaque made of fat and cholesterol. Doctors say that this process includes a small medical balloons that push the plaque through the places that are very narrow or blocked.

Angioplasty are usually safe processes and are less aggressive than other heart and vascular procedures, such as bypass surgery.

When will you need angioplasty?

If you have then you may need angioplasty:

A heart attack

Angioplasty causes damage to your heart during a heart attack or during right and is usually held in emergency situations.

Carotid artery disease

Doctors say that angioplasty can also treat blocked carotid arteries, which may otherwise lead to a deadly stroke.

Kidney disease

Many times the plaque collects in the arteries in your kidneys affecting blood and oxygen, so angioplasty helps in free flow of blood.

Heart artery

It is possible to defeat and pump your coronary arteries in your heart in your body. A blocked coronary artery can cause severe chest pain, and a long time may cause heart attack.

What happens during an angioplasty?

According to doctors, the process of angioplasty is done:

• A doctor will seduce you through an IV
• Some monitor pulse and oxygen levels like your important organs will be monitored
• Local anesthesia will be administered to numb the area where the artery will be accessed – usually in your waist or hand.
• The blood vessel will be accessed with a needle, slide with a tube
• An X-ray machine will allow the doctor to see where the catheter is going from all angles.
• Doctors will put a special dye in the tube that will then go to the artery.
• Doctors will be able to see the obstruction or narrowness of your artery with imaging and the area will be crossed with a guide wire. This balloon-splitted catheter will allow the catheter to pass over the wire.
• Once beyond the obstruction, the doctor will then inflape the balloon, which can help improve blood flow.

After the procedure, the doctor will take out the catheter and use a strip to cover the place where the catheter went to your skin. They will then pressurize the site to prevent or prevent any bleeding. If the catheter is in your waist, you may need to lie on your back for a few hours.

The entire process takes about 30 minutes to two hours to complete, after which you can recover in the hospital.
