  2. Balloon pulmonary angioplasty - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balloon_pulmonary_angioplasty

    Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) is an emerging minimally invasive procedure to treat chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) in people who are not suitable for pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) or still have residual pulmonary hypertension and areas of narrowing in the pulmonary arterial tree following previous PTE.

  3. 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 ...

  4. Angioplasty - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angioplasty

    Angioplasty is used to treat venous stenosis affecting dialysis access, with drug-coated balloon angioplasty proving to have better 6 month and 12 month patency than conventional balloon angioplasty. [13] Angioplasty is occasionally used to treat residual subclavian vein stenosis following decompression surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome. [14]

  6. Left bundle branch block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_bundle_branch_block

    Left bundle branch block (LBBB) is a conduction abnormality in the heart that can be seen on an electrocardiogram (ECG). [1] In this condition, activation of the left ventricle of the heart is delayed, which causes the left ventricle to contract later than the right ventricle .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andreas_Gruentzig

    Since the later 1990s, most angioplasties also involve a stent over the angioplasty balloon; the balloon is hydraulically expanded, typically at 6–25 atmospheres of internal pressure, then deflated and removed while the stent remains behind to mechanically support the lumen remaining in the new, more open shape as created by the hydraulically ...

  8. Balloon catheter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balloon_catheter

    When a balloon catheter is used to compress plaque within a clogged coronary artery, it is referred to as a plain old balloon angioplasty or POBA. [1] Balloon catheters are also utilized in the deployment of stents during angioplasty. Balloon catheters are supplied to the cath lab with a stent pre-mounted on the balloon. When the cardiologist ...

  9. Angina - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angina

    Treatments for angina are balloon angioplasty, in which the balloon is inserted at the end of a catheter and inflated to widen the arterial lumen. Stents to maintain the arterial widening are often used at the same time. Coronary bypass surgery involves bypassing constricted arteries with venous grafts. This is much more invasive than angioplasty.
