2. Reperfusion therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reperfusion_therapy

   The use of a coronary angioplasty to abort a myocardial infarction is preceded by a primary percutaneous coronary intervention. The goal of a prompt angioplasty is to open the artery as soon as possible, and preferably within 90 minutes of the patient presenting to the emergency room. This time is referred to as the door-to-balloon time.

3. Percutaneous coronary intervention - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percutaneous_coronary...

   Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a minimally invasive non-surgical procedure used to treat narrowing of the coronary arteries of the heart found in coronary artery disease. [2] The procedure is used to place and deploy coronary stents , a permanent wire-meshed tube, to open narrowed coronary arteries.

4. Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass surgery

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimally_invasive_direct...

   Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) is a surgical treatment for coronary heart disease that is a less invasive method of coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). [1] MIDCAB gains surgical access to the heart with a smaller incision than other types of CABG.

5. Coronary artery bypass surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_artery_bypass_surgery

   CABG and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are the two methods to restore blood flow caused by stenotic lesions of the coronary arteries. The choice of method is still a matter of debate, but it is clear that in the presence of complex lesions, significant left main disease, or diabetes, CABG yields better long-term survival and outcomes.

6. Hybrid cardiac surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_cardiac_surgery

   A hybrid cardiac surgical procedure in a narrow sense is defined as a procedure that combines a conventional, more invasive surgical part (including a skin incision) with an interventional part, using some sort of catheter-based procedure guided by fluoroscopy (or other, e.g., CT or MRI) imaging in a hybrid operating room (OR) without interruption. [1]

7. Angioplasty - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angioplasty

   A percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), or coronary angioplasty with stenting, is a non-surgical procedure used to improve the blood flow to the heart. [1] Coronary angioplasty is indicated for coronary artery diseases such as unstable angina, NSTEMI, STEMI and spontaneous coronary artery perforation. [1]

8. Revascularization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revascularization

   For coronary artery disease (ischemic heart disease), coronary artery bypass surgery and percutaneous coronary intervention (coronary balloon angioplasty) are the two primary means of revascularization. [2] When those cannot be done, transmyocardial revascularization or percutaneous myocardial revascularization, done with a laser, may be an option.

9. Myocardial stunning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myocardial_stunning

   [2] [3] In this situation, even after ischemia has been relieved (by for instance angioplasty or coronary artery bypass surgery) and myocardial blood flow (MBF) returns to normal, myocardial function is still depressed for a variable period of time, usually days to weeks.
