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.

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

4. 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

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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.
