Angioplasty: Fixed price surgery costs

Fixed Price Surgery Schemes are run by many of the private hospital companies in the UK. They offer you the advantages of having your private operation at a time that suits you and at a fixed price that has been agreed beforehand.

 

If you want a quote for an operation or more information about Fixed Cost Surgery, complete our surgery enquiry form. Your enquiry will be sent to up to three participating Fixed Cost Surgery providers. 

What is angioplasty?


Angioplasty is the technique of mechanically widening a narrowed or obstructed blood vessel, the latter typically being a result of atherosclerosis. An empty and collapsed balloon on a guide wire, known as a balloon catheter, is passed into the narrowed locations and then inflated to a fixed size using water pressures some 75 to 500 times normal blood pressure (6 to 20 atmospheres). The balloon crushes the fatty deposits, opening up the blood vessel for improved flow, and the balloon is then deflated and withdrawn. A stent may or may not be inserted at the time of ballooning to ensure the vessel remains open.
