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.

3. Angioplasty - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angioplasty

   The LAD, as is usual, has two large diagonal branches, which arise at the centre-top of the image and course toward the centre-right of the image. A coronary angioplasty is a therapeutic procedure to treat the stenotic (narrowed) coronary arteries of the heart found in coronary heart disease. [1]

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. 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]

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. Cardiac surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_surgery

   Cardiac surgery, or cardiovascular surgery, is surgery on the heart or great vessels performed by cardiac surgeons.It is often used to treat complications of ischemic heart disease (for example, with coronary artery bypass grafting); to correct congenital heart disease; or to treat valvular heart disease from various causes, including endocarditis, rheumatic heart disease, [1] and ...

9. 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.
