Description

Familiarity with Treatment

Angioplasty, also known as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), is a minimally invasive procedure used to open narrowed or blocked coronary arteries. It involves the use of a balloon catheter to widen the artery and often includes the placement of a stent to keep the artery open12.

Procedure

  1. Preparation: The patient is given a local anesthetic and sometimes a sedative. An IV line is inserted for medications.
  2. Insertion: A catheter with a small balloon at its tip is inserted into a blood vessel, usually in the groin or wrist, and guided to the blocked artery.
  3. Balloon Inflation: Once in place, the balloon is inflated to compress the plaque against the artery walls, widening the artery.
  4. Stent Placement: A stent (a small wire mesh tube) is often placed at the site to keep the artery open.
  5. Completion: The balloon is deflated and removed, leaving the stent in place if used12.

Who is it Suitable For?

  • Patients with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): Those experiencing chest pain (angina) or having a heart attack due to blocked arteries.
  • Patients with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD): Those with narrowed arteries in the limbs.
  • Patients with Carotid Artery Disease: Those at risk of stroke due to narrowed neck arteries12.

Who is it Not Suitable For?

  • Severe Heart Disease: Patients who may require coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) instead.
  • Multiple Blockages: Patients with multiple or complex blockages may not be ideal candidates.
  • Certain Health Conditions: Patients with severe kidney disease or bleeding disorders may face higher risks2.

Advantages

  • Minimally Invasive: Less recovery time compared to open-heart surgery.
  • Quick Relief: Immediate improvement in blood flow and symptom relief.
  • Short Hospital Stay: Often performed on an outpatient basis or with a short hospital stay12.

Complications

  • Re-narrowing of the Artery: Known as restenosis, especially if no stent is used.
  • Blood Clots: Can form within stents, potentially leading to a heart attack.
  • Bleeding or Infection: At the catheter insertion site.
  • Rare Risks: Heart attack, coronary artery damage, or stroke2.

Previous Care

  • Medication Review: Patients should inform their doctor about all medications and allergies.
  • Fasting: Typically, patients are asked to fast for a few hours before the procedure.
  • Pre-procedure Tests: Blood tests, electrocardiogram (ECG), and imaging tests to assess the condition12.

Aftercare

  • Monitoring: Patients are monitored for a few hours post-procedure for any complications.
  • Medications: Blood thinners and other medications to prevent blood clots and manage heart health.
  • Lifestyle Changes: Diet, exercise, and quitting smoking to improve heart health.
  • Follow-up: Regular check-ups with the cardiologist to monitor the stent and overall heart health12.
