What is PAMI?
PAMI stands for Primary Angioplasty in Myocardial Infarction. It involves opening a blocked coronary artery during an ongoing heart attack. The treatment improves survival and reduces heart muscle damage. The artery is opened using a catheter,coronary wire, a balloon, and a stent. The aim is immediate blood flow restoration.
PAMI is an essential treatment for patients with severe chest pain or ECG changes indicating acute myocardial infarction. The procedure is performed in a cardiac catheterization lab with high-end equipment. Many patients choose Bombay Hospital due to the availability of best primary angioplasty in myocardial infarction treatment in Mumbai supported by round-the-clock cardiac care.
How Does PAMI Work?
• Preparation: Your heart team performs tests such as ECG, cardiac enzyme levels, and an emergency angiogram to confirm a blocked coronary artery. These tests help identify the artery responsible for the heart attack.
• Procedure: A small incision is made in the wrist or groin. A catheter is guided to the blocked artery. A balloon is inflated to open the blockage. A stent is placed to keep the artery open. This restores blood flow to the heart muscle.
• Recovery: After the procedure, you are monitored in the ICU for stability. Most patients move to a room once their condition improves. Many patients are discharged in a short period with clear instructions for medications and daily activity.
Post-Procedure Care
The cardiac team provides instructions on medicines, diet, and activity levels to support recovery.
Scheduled follow-ups help assess stent performance and heart function.
Regular check-ups allow early detection of any concerns and help maintain long-term heart health.
