TECHNOLOGY WILL    Angioplasty
SAVE OUR MINDS AND   By: Matthew
                     Cotton
            BODIES
WHAT IS ANGIOPLAST Y

 Angioplasty is a medical
  technology used unblock blood
  vessels, most commonly the
  coronary artery.
 Angioplasty is an minimally
  invasive medical procedure
  that involves inserting a small
  wire with a balloon at the end
  into an blocked blood vessel.
  Inflation of the balloon opens
  up the blockage.
 Two types of angioplasty
  include balloon and balloon
  with a stent.
WHAT IS ANGIOPLAST Y USED FOR?


                   The most common use of
                    angioplasty is for
                    treatment of coronary
                    artery disease (CAD).
                   Less common uses would
                    include unblocking
                    arteries in the
                    abdomen, renal
                    system, neck and limbs.
                   Angioplasty is the most
                    common emergency
                    treatment for acute
                    myocardial infarctions
                    (heart attack).
HOW IS THIS A TECHNOLOGICAL
           ADVANCEMENT
 Angioplasty has become leading edge in treatment of patients
  experiencing a sudden heart attack.

 Angioplasty can be done within hours of the onset of a heart
  attack and will give the best prognosis.

 The surgery is minimal, patients will usually only end up with
  a small incision on their thigh.

 Patients can receive a stent in their blood vessel which will
  allow for increased structure of the vein or artery.
ALTERNATIVES TO ANGIOPLAST Y

  Coronary artery bypass
     grafting (CABG)           Heart Medication
 Involves open heart       Can only be used of
  surgery.                   heart attack is mild and
 Requires blood             caught early.
  vessels, usually taken    Can cause dangerous
  from the legs.             bleeding.
 Longer recovery           If it is not successful
                             angioplasty or CAGB
 More dangerous risks.      will still be required.
 May require patient to    Least harmful if
  be on long term            successful
  medication
DISEASES TREATED:
         CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE
 Atherosclerosis is a build up of plaque over time on the walls
  of the arteries of the heart, caused by increased blood
  cholesterol levels.

 Symptoms include: Chest pain that can radiate to arms and
  jaw (Angina) and Shortness of breath.

 Complications: Heart attack, Heart failure and arrhythmias.

 Causes: Sedentary life style, obesity, smoking, family
  history, high blood pressure and high cholesterol or blood
  sugar.
DISEASES TREATED CONT’D:
 ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION (AMI)
 Acute myocardial infarction also known as a heart attack is
  when atherosclerotic build up in the arteries rupture and
  cause a blood clot to block the blood flow to the heart.

 Symptoms include: Chest pain that radiates to the arms and
  jaw, shortness of breath, sweating, nausea and
  vomiting, dizziness, weakness, rapid or irregular heart beat.

 Complications: arrhythmias, heart failure, valve problems and
  death.

 Causes: Heart disease, Coronary artery disease.
HOW ANGIOPLAST Y IS PREFORMED

 The surgeon will make a incision in the groin to a main artery
  after numbing the area and relaxing the patient with
  medication.
 A flexible wire will be inserted in the artery and fed up to the
  blockage in the heart. Live x -rays will show the surgeon where
  to go.
 The wire will be pushed through the blockage and a small
  balloon will be inflated to open up the blockage.
 A stent ( wire mesh) may be left in place to keep the artery
  open.
 The wire is removed.
 Blood flow is increased to the body when artery is opened.
 The incision will be closed and bleeding controlled.
 Patient will begin recovery.
WHAT IS A STENT

 The stent is a small
  tube made of a metal
  mesh.
 It is used to treat
  weak or narrowed
  blood vessels.
 Stents are permanent
  and implanted using
  angioplasty.
 Some stents are
  coated in a slow
  release medication
  that helps prevent
  arteries from
  becoming blocked.
PROS VS. CONS

             PROS                                CONS
 Fast treatment of a hear t          Patient may experience
  attack in a time dependent           intense pain at incision site
  moment.                              and during balloon inflation.
 If successful good long -term       May rupture ar ter y (rare).
  results.                            Stent may become dislodged.
 Safer than bypass graf ting         Patient may bleed excessively
 Cheaper than bypass surger y         at incision site.
 Patient recover s faster than by    Procedure may cause hear t
  alternatives                         attack while surger y is in
 Good Prognosis                       progress.
                                      Stent may need to be replaced
                                       in following years.
PATIENT OUTCOMES

This is a look at patient outcomes with angioplasty vs. bypass surgery. You
can see that angioplasty is always more successful.

Angioplasty

  • 2. WHAT IS ANGIOPLAST Y  Angioplasty is a medical technology used unblock blood vessels, most commonly the coronary artery.  Angioplasty is an minimally invasive medical procedure that involves inserting a small wire with a balloon at the end into an blocked blood vessel. Inflation of the balloon opens up the blockage.  Two types of angioplasty include balloon and balloon with a stent.
  • 3. WHAT IS ANGIOPLAST Y USED FOR?  The most common use of angioplasty is for treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD).  Less common uses would include unblocking arteries in the abdomen, renal system, neck and limbs.  Angioplasty is the most common emergency treatment for acute myocardial infarctions (heart attack).

DISEASES TREATED CONT’D: ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION (AMI)  Acute myocardial infarction also known as a heart attack is when atherosclerotic build up in the arteries rupture and cause a blood clot to block the blood flow to the heart.  Symptoms include: Chest pain that radiates to the arms and jaw, shortness of breath, sweating, nausea and vomiting, dizziness, weakness, rapid or irregular heart beat.  Complications: arrhythmias, heart failure, valve problems and death.  Causes: Heart disease, Coronary artery disease.

HOW ANGIOPLAST Y IS PREFORMED  The surgeon will make a incision in the groin to a main artery after numbing the area and relaxing the patient with medication.  A flexible wire will be inserted in the artery and fed up to the blockage in the heart. Live x -rays will show the surgeon where to go.  The wire will be pushed through the blockage and a small balloon will be inflated to open up the blockage.  A stent ( wire mesh) may be left in place to keep the artery open.  The wire is removed.  Blood flow is increased to the body when artery is opened.  The incision will be closed and bleeding controlled.  Patient will begin recovery.
  • 9. WHAT IS A STENT  The stent is a small tube made of a metal mesh.  It is used to treat weak or narrowed blood vessels.  Stents are permanent and implanted using angioplasty.  Some stents are coated in a slow release medication that helps prevent arteries from becoming blocked.
