Balloon angioplasty works best on short, thick blockages in majorarteries. It won't work on scattered blockages in thin, small arteries. For the right people, it's usually safe and effective, but there is a significant chance that the blockages will form again. The procedure is less risky...
Coronary angioplasty is a revascularisation procedure that has revolutionised the treatment of ischemic heart diseases over the past twenty years. It involves the threading of a catheter with a balloon attached to the tip through the arterial system, usually started in the femoral artery in the ...
You may need to lie still for several hours if your leg was used for the procedure. Do not get out of bed until your provider says it is okay. You will need to stay in the hospital for at least the night after the procedure. Your provider may have you take aspirin or another ...
With the wrist procedure, the surgeon accesses the radial artery _ which is only about a tenth of an inch in diameter. When the operation is over, he closes the incision and applies a small compression device that looks like a plastic wristwatch to stop the bleeding. The patient sits in ...
Angioplasty is often performed as an inpatient procedure after preliminary angiography. In order to increase efficiency and patient comfort we introduced a policy of performing angioplasty for chronic leg ischaemia as an outpatient whenever possible, using duplex scanning to select suitable lesions. This ...

Angioplasty is a method of expanded arteries that have become blocked, typically arteries leading to the heart, in which case the procedure is called coronary angioplasty. Arteries can become blocked for a number of reasons, the most common of which is atherosclerosis, a disease characterized by ...
In this group there was a 30 per cent overall mortality rate during follow-up. However, 85 per cent of the patients had no symptoms of critical ischaemia and the limb salvage rate was 92 per cent. Conclusion: PTA is an effective and durable procedure in patients with critical leg ischaemia...
The therapy is called percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA), and it involves the implantation of nitinol stents in the infrapopliteal arteries, those just below and behind the knee. New procedure relieves leg pain associated with critical limb ischemia: research shows a new type of stent is ...
