1. ANGIOPLASTY
PATEL.YASH.GIRISHBHAI (KAPC COLLEG)

2. INTRODUCTION
 Used unblock blood vessels, most commonly coronary
artery.
 Angioplasty is an minimally invasive medical procedure
that involves inserting a small wire with a ballon at end
into an blocked blood vessel.
 Inflation of ballon opens up blockage.
 Two types of angioplasty include balloon and ballon with a
stent.

4. INDICATION
 Coronary artery disease (CAD)
 Unblocking arteries in abdomen, renal system, neck and
limbs.
 Emergency treatment for acute myocardial infarction
(heart attack)

5.  Angioplasty has become leading edge in treatment of
patient experiencing a sudden heart attack.
 Angioplasty can be done within hours of onset if a heart
attack and will give best prognosis.
 Surgery is minimal, patients will usually only end up with
a small incision on their thigh.
 Patient can receive a stent in their blood vessel which will
allow for increased structure of vein or artery

6. PROCEDURE
 Surgeon will make a incision in groin to main artery after
numbing area and relaxing patient with medication.
 A flexible wire will be inserted in artery and fed up to
blockage in heart. Live x-ray will show the surgeon where
to go.
 Wire will be pushed through blockage and a small bal loon
will be inflated to open up blockage.

7.  A stent (wire mesh) may be left in place to keep artery
open.
 Wire is removed.
 Blood flow is increased to body when artery is opened.
 Incision will be closed and bleeding control led.

8. WHAT IS A STENT
 Stent is a small tube made of a metal mesh.
 To treat weak or narrowed blood vessels.
 Permanent and implanted using angioplasty.
 Some stents are coated in a slow release medication a
slow release medication that helps prevent arteries form
becoming blocked.

9. PRO
 Fast treatment of heart attack in a time dependent
moment.
 If successful good longterm results
 Safer than bypass grafting
 Cheaper then bypass surgery.
 Patient recovers faster than by alternatives.

10. CONS
 Patient may experience intense pain incision site and
during balloon inflection.
 may rupture artery (rare)
 Stent may become dislodged.
 Patient may bleed excessively at incision site.
 Procedure may cause heart attack while surgery is in
progress.
 Stent may need to be replaced in following years.
