#CoronaryArteryAngioplasty #PercutaneousCoronaryIntervention #BalloonAngioplasty
MEDICAL ANIMATION TRANSCRIPT: A coronary angioplasty procedure is also known as percutaneous coronary intervention. The procedure is done on blood vessels called coronary arteries. They supply your heart muscle with oxygen. The goal is to restore blood flow if a substance called plaque has significantly narrowed these vessels. To begin the procedure the doctor will numb the skin in your wrist. A needle will be placed through your skin and into your radial artery. Next, a flexible guidewire will be passed through the needle into your artery. Then the needle will be withdrawn. It will be exchanged for a small flexible tube called a sheath. This permits access into your artery. You may feel pressure when the doctor inserts the sheath. But you will not feel it moving inside your artery. Next, the guidewire will be advanced up to your heart. A flexible tube called a catheter will be advanced over the wire to your coronary arteries. The progress of the procedure will be checked with an x-ray device called a fluoroscope. At this point, your doctor will remove the guidewire. Then, the doctor will move the tip of the catheter just inside the coronary artery to be examined. A special dye will be injected into the artery. This allows your doctor to view it better with the fluoroscope. The dye will make any blockages in the artery stand out. If a significant blockage is found, your doctor will insert a guidewire into the artery. A balloon on the tip of the catheter will be moved along the wire to the blockage. When the balloon inflates, it will expand the artery and improve the blood flow. You may feel some chest discomfort while this is happening. After this, your doctor will deflate and remove the balloon. A wire mesh tube called a stent may be placed in the treated area. The stent helps keep the coronary artery open. Your doctor will choose the proper sized stent, which is compressed over a balloon. The stent will be moved into the artery over the same guidewire. When the balloon is inflated, the stent will expand and lock into place. After the balloon catheter is taken out the stent will stay in place to hold the artery open. At the end of the procedure, the guidewire will be removed. To find out more about coronary artery angioplasty, talk to your healthcare provider.

Correct me if I am wrong, while a healthy lifestyle certainly prevents more plaques/clots from forming, it wouldn’t do much to existing ones except slowing its growth. Seems like the body just lacks the mechanism of getting rid of dead foamy cells in the arteries. Interventions and medications should be pretty effective though.

You don't even need an open heart surgery? Well, that's good to know!

it will be catastrophic if an incision is made to the coronary artery. The pressure in the artery will cause the blood to squeeze out and it will be too difficult to stop the bleeding.

[@AJKing8]

If in case the plaque is too much and the patient is stable then open heart surgery would be feasible (CABG). but that requires the blood flow to the heart to be connected to an external pump which acts as a heart for the duration of the procedure.

I had this procedure, twice in the span of three days, and I would like to had a few comments: First, the needle in the artery hurts like hell. Second, I did feel the guide wire and the catheter moved inside my arm. Third, it's not "discomfort" when they inflate the balloons, it THE worst angina you will feel... for me it was worst then the heart infarction.

I have one question though: how can we remove the plaque out of the coronary artery?

[@patrickearlwenceslao406]

medications and lifestyle modifications that you make should dissolve the clots/plaques in the artery

[@stevebatte1147]

This is tricky as the plaque has to go somewhere ? My belief is that if it is dislodged from the artery wall it will deposit somewhere else in the body, maybe causing a stroke or worse.

How do they choose which atherectomy procedure to do? Why use the ballon procedure over atherectomy? Does the plaque continue to build up over time and cause the artery to burst? Can the plaque left in the artery break off?

[@mamtanaik6896]

Thanks for the clear explanation.
