2. Coronary stent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_stent

   A coronary stent is a tube-shaped device placed in the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart, to keep the arteries open in patients suffering from coronary heart disease. The vast majority of stents used in modern interventional cardiology are drug-eluting stents (DES). They are used in a medical procedure called percutaneous ...

3. Percutaneous coronary intervention - Wikipedia

   Further diagnostic coronary angiography is not routinely indicated after coronary stent implantation. If progression of heart disease is suspected, a stress test will be performed; patients who develop symptoms or show evidence of ischemia in a stress test may undergo diagnostic cardiac re-catheterization.

4. Coronary catheterization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_catheterization

   A coronary catheterization is a minimally invasive procedure to access the coronary circulation and blood filled chambers of the heart using a catheter. It is performed for both diagnostic and interventional (treatment) purposes. Coronary catheterization is one of the several cardiology diagnostic tests and procedures.

5. Cardiac catheterization - Wikipedia

7. Reperfusion therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reperfusion_therapy

   The angioplasty uses the insertion of a balloon and/or stents to open up the artery. [1] Other surgeries performed are the more invasive bypass surgeries that graft arteries around blockages. If an MI is presented with ECG evidence of an ST elevation known as STEMI , or if a bundle branch block is similarly presented, then reperfusion therapy ...

9. Protected percutaneous coronary intervention - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_percutaneous...

   During a protected percutaneous coronary intervention (Protected PCI) procedure, "the Impella 2.5 heart pump helps maintain a stable heart function by pumping blood for the heart. This gives a weak heart muscle an opportunity to rest and reduces the heart’s workload, preventing the heart from being overstressed by the procedure as coronary ...
