Angioplasty vs Bypass Surgery Explained Simply | Dr. Umesh Kohli

🩺 What’s the difference between Angioplasty and Bypass Surgery? In this video, Dr. Umesh Kohli (Director – Cardiology, Accord Hospital) explains in simple terms what happens when you’re diagnosed with a heart blockage and how doctors decide between medicines, angioplasty, or bypass surgery. 💡 Key Takeaways: 1️⃣ Medicines are the first and most essential treatment. 2️⃣ Angioplasty (stenting) is done when 1–2 arteries have small blockages — a balloon and spring-like stent are inserted to open the blockage. 3️⃣ Bypass surgery is needed when multiple or long blockages exist — a new graft is taken from the leg or chest to bypass the blocked artery. 4️⃣ Lifestyle changes remain equally critical after any procedure. ❤️ “Remember — whether stent or bypass, your medicines and lifestyle matter the most.” #DrUmeshKohli #HeartHealth #Cardiology #BypassSurgery #Angioplasty #HeartBlockage #CardiacCare #AccordHospital #HeartAttackAwareness #HeartTreatment #HeartCareTips
