2. Coronary artery bypass surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_artery_bypass_surgery

   Coronary artery bypass surgery aims to prevent death from coronary artery disease and improve quality of life by relieving angina, the associated feeling of chest pain. [1] The decision to perform surgery is informed by studies of CABG's efficacy in different patient subgroups, based on the lesions' anatomy or how well the heart is functioning.

3. Drug-eluting stent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug-eluting_stent

   PCI is a minimally invasive procedure. It involves the placement of a drug-eluting stent (DES) in a coronary artery. This procedure, previously known as angioplasty with a stent, is considered non-surgical as it is performed through a small puncture in a peripheral artery, avoiding the need to open the chest wall. While bleeding from the ...

4. Transmyocardial revascularization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmyocardial...

   Transmyocardial laser revascularization (TMR) is a procedure used to treat inoperable heart disease [1] in people with persistent angina that is not relieved by any other revascularization method. Most people with coronary artery disease are treated with angioplasty and stenting or coronary bypass surgery and medications to improve blood flow ...

5. Coronary artery disease - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_artery_disease

   Coronary artery disease (CAD), also called coronary heart disease (CHD), or ischemic heart disease (IHD), [13] is a type of heart disease involving the reduction of blood flow to the cardiac muscle due to a build-up of atheromatous plaque in the arteries of the heart.

6. Myocardial infarction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myocardial_infarction

   In people with blockages of multiple coronary arteries and diabetes, coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) may be recommended rather than angioplasty. [17] After an MI, lifestyle modifications, along with long-term treatment with aspirin, beta blockers and statins, are typically recommended. [8]

   An angioplasty might also be done, which is a minimally invasive endovascular procedure where a deflated balloon inserted into the blockage then inflated to open the artery up. And finally a percutaneous coronary intervention might also be performed, where a tiny catheter is used to place a stent in the coronary artery to physically open up a ...

8. Cardiac arrest - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_arrest

   The underlying causes of sudden cardiac arrest can result from cardiac and non-cardiac etiologies. The most common underlying causes are different, depending on the patient's age. Common cardiac causes include coronary artery disease, non-atherosclerotic coronary artery abnormalities, structural heart damage, and inherited arrhythmias. Common ...

9. Collateralization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collateralization

   Coronary collateralization is considered a normal response to hypoxia and may be induced, under some circumstances, by exercise. It is considered to be protective. [1] Collateral or anastomotic blood vessels also exist even when blood supply is adequate to an area, and these blood vessels are often taken advantage of in surgery. Some notable ...
