www.nucleusinc.com This 3D heart animation shows a coronary artery angioplasty surgery, also called a percutaneous coronary intervention, or PCI, to correct a blocked artery in the heart. It begins by showing the buildup of plaque in an artery wall of the heart, blocking the flow of blood. Afterwards, the patient lies on a testing table while contrast dye is injected into the arteries of the heart, showing the location of the blockage. A guide wire is then moved through the lumen of the blood vessel, followed by a balloon and stent mechanism. The balloon inflates, putting the metal stent in place, so that the lumen of the artery is open and the red blood cells can flow freely. ANCE00178 Coronary Artery...

www.PreOp.com Patient ED @ 617-379-1582 INFO Your doctor has recommended that you undergo a balloon angioplasty with a stent implant. But what does that actually mean? The heart is located in the center of the chest. It's job is to keep blood continually circulating throughout the body. The blood vessels that supply the body with oxygen-rich blood are called arteries. The arteries that supplies blood to the heart muscle itself are called coronary arteries. Sometimes, these blood vessels can narrow or become blocked by plaque deposits, restricting normal blood flow. In simple terms, a balloon angioplasty with stent insertion is a procedure used to increase the amount of blood flowing through the coronary artery. During a balloon angioplasty, a heart specialist will insert a thin tube into an artery in your arm or leg and gently guide it towards the problem area in your heart. Once the tube is in place, a small balloon is briefly inflated in order to widen the narrowed artery. A short length of mesh tubing called a stent is then inserted into the newly widened artery. During and after the procedure, your doctor will take x-rays in order to monitor your progress. PreOp® Patient...

www.PreOp.com Medical Malpractice and Patient Education Company Patient ED @ 617-379-1582 INFO Then the doctor will make a small cut over the femoral artery in the upper part of the leg. A special needle is then inserted into the artery itself. Then a guide wire is carefully passed through the needle and gently pushed into the artery and upwards towards your chest. A narrow tube, called a catheter is threaded along the wire until it too has reached the coronary artery Next, the doctor uses the catheter to inject a dye into the artery itself. The die shows up on a TV monitor and is used to pinpoint the exact location of the blocked area. Once the restricted area has been identified, a thin wire is inserted into the catheter, and is guided all the way to the blocked area and then slightly beyond. This wire acts as guide for the balloon catheter. It allows your doctor to position the deflated balloon precisely in the middle of the narrowest part of the coronary artery. The balloon is briefly inflated. As it expands, it squeezes the plaque deposits against the wall of the artery. It also stretches the artery wall and enlarges the channel through which blood flows. Your doctor will continue to inflate and deflate the balloon until normal blood flow has been restored. The balloon catheter is then withdrawn and another balloon catheter is inserted. This balloon has the mesh stent tube wrapped around it. Once this tube has been placed in the center of now widened area of the <b>...</b> Malpractice...

Many people with kidney failure who undergo hemodialysis develop scarring at the site where the dialysis machines connect to their bodies. This scarring causes the blood vessels to become narrowed or blocked, which can impede blood flow. These patients may then need repeated procedures, such as angioplasty, to open the blood vessels. But a study shows that a new stent is effective at keeping the vessels open longer, reducing the number of angioplasties that patient need to re-open the vessels. In this interview with Sharon Boston, Dr. Ziv Haskal, chief of vascular and interventional radiology, talks about his study and describes hemodialysis. Dr. Haskals study on the new stent is published in the February 11, 2010, edition of the New England Journal of Medicine. Dr. Haskal is also professor of radiology and surgery at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. Distributed by Tubemogul. Dialysis Stent
Life saving advanced technology to clear blocked carotid arteries. Highlights of a minimally invasive carotid stent procedure to treat carotid artery blockage and prevent strokes will be shown from Tampa General Hospital on the Internet on September 28, 2006 at 4 pm Physicians will narrate the procedure and answer your questions live as taped highlights are shown. Carotid artery stenting is minimally invasive and replaces open surgery to clean out a blocked artery and has proven to be superior to open surgery in all patients, including high-risk patients. The goal of a carotid stent is to reduce the risk of stroke and improve blood flow to the brain. Every 45 seconds someone in the United States has a stroke. Stroke or 'brain attack' occurs when a part of the brain is deprived of blood and oxygen --often as a result of a carotid artery blockage. Lack of oxygenated blood and nutrients causes nerve cell death within minutes. When nerve cell death occurs, the part of the body controlled by the nerve no longer works properly. Carotid Stent...
Please visit www.ORLive.com to view the full surgery. On Wednesday, May 16, at 4 pm, CST, an Internet audience will have a rare chance to watch a heart care procedure as it happens. During a live webcast from Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield, Wisconsin, Marshfield Clinic interventional cardiologists will perform a live cardiac catheterization procedure as well as a possible angioplasty and stent placement. A physician moderator will be on hand to walk the audience through the procedure and give them the inside scoop on the crucial decisions the heart care team is making as they happen.

Drug-coated stents-- tiny mesh tubes that prop open blocked arteries and release medication to help keep the artery clear made headlines last year when clinical trials linked this type of stent to higher death rates. But a new study finds drug-coated stents are safe and may even be superior to their unmedicated, bare metal cousins in preventing death and heart attacks. What were able to show from our study is that there are no safety concerns, theres no increase in late death, and certainly there are fewer deaths associated with drug-eluting stents, rather than more. But there were no excess events far down the road to suggest that there are any safety issues at all. Duke University Medical Center cardiologists followed more than a quarter of a million patients over age 65, most of whom received drug-coated stents. They then compared these patients clinical outcomes to a smaller group who received regular, bare metal stents. The results showed patients with drug-coated stents were about twenty-five percent less likely to die. These patients were also twenty-four percent less likely to have a heart attack than patients with bare metal stents. The patients were evaluated for two and a half years. The study findings may put to rest the controversy over the safety of drug-coated stents. Most patients are not treated in the context of a randomized, control trials, theyre treated in the context of real world, community care and thats exactly the setting in which we did our <b>...</b> Drug-Coated...
Atherosclerosis is the condition in which an artery wall thickens as the result of a build-up of fatty materials such as cholesterol.It most commonly becomes seriously symptomatic when interfering with the coronary circulation supplying the heart or cerebral circulation supplying the brain, and is considered the most important underlying cause of strokes, heart attacks, and most cardiovascular diseases, in general. A stent is a man-made 'tube' inserted into a natural passage/conduit in the body to prevent, or counteract, a disease-induced, localized flow constriction. Stents are used to counter narrowing of arteries due to plaque deposition and hardening. Coronary artery...
Its a new cutting edge procedure that doctors say is safer than regular stenting to open clogged neck arteries. Clogged arteries can cause strokes. About 700 hundred thousand strokes are reported in the United States each year, often leading to disability and even death. Besides open surgeries to clear the carotid artery, called endarterectomy, doctors use stenting, a small metal support, to keep the artery open. Now doctors are taking stenting one step further. At Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee, doctors have, for the first time, used a procedure that actually reverses the flow of blood to protect the brain as they put in a stent. Barb Cramer has the story. New Stent...
