2. 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.

   A variety of procedures may be done in the hospital to help restore blood flow in the heart. One option is angioplasty, though percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the preferred way to do this.

4. 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.

5. 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]

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. 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.

8. Myocardial stunning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myocardial_stunning

   Myocardial stunning or transient post-ischemic myocardial dysfunction is a state of mechanical cardiac dysfunction that can occur in a portion of myocardium without necrosis after a brief interruption in perfusion, despite the timely restoration of normal coronary blood flow.

9. Hybrid coronary revascularization - Wikipedia

   Less pain for the patient and quicker recovery time. Particularly in high risk patients, morbidity and mortality decreases in comparison to conventional surgery. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] A study from FuWai Hospital in Beijing [ 4 ] reports on 104 patients with multivessel coronary artery disease who were compared with the same sized group of patients ...
