2021年11月8日 · Angioplasty, also called balloon angioplasty, is a procedure that opens arteries to let blood go through more easily. Healthcare providers use this minimally invasive procedure in tight spots in arteries where plaque makes the space inside an artery too narrow or blocks it.

2023年6月26日 · Angioplasty is a standard, minimally invasive procedure that doctors use to unblock clogged arteries and improve blood flow in the heart. Doctors frequently recommend angioplasty to treat acute...

2023年11月7日 · Coronary angioplasty treats vessels, called coronary arteries, which deliver blood to heart muscles. A tiny balloon on a narrow tube, called a catheter, is used to widen a clogged artery and improve blood flow. Angioplasty is often followed by the placement of a small wire mesh tube called a stent.

Angioplasty, also known as balloon angioplasty and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, is a minimally invasive endovascular procedure used to widen narrowed or obstructed arteries or veins, typically to treat arterial atherosclerosis. [1]

2024年11月30日 · Angioplasty is a catheterization procedure that opens arteries blocked or narrowed by a sticky material called plaque. The surgery involves passing a long, thin, flexible tube called a catheter across the atherosclerotic plaque that is causing the blockage.

Angioplasty is a procedure used to open blocked coronary arteries caused by coronary artery disease. It restores blood flow to the heart muscle without open-heart surgery. Angioplasty can be done in an emergency setting, such as a heart attack.

2020年11月13日 · Angioplasty is a procedure to widen or open a blocked or narrowed artery. It restores normal blood flow through diseased arteries. Angioplasty is used on renal (kidney) arteries, carotid (neck) arteries, cerebral (brain) arteries, and coronary (heart) arteries.

Angioplasty opens blocked arteries and restores normal blood flow to your heart muscle. It’s not major surgery. It’s done by threading a catheter (thin tube) through a small puncture in a leg or arm artery to the heart. The catheter places a tiny balloon at the site of blockage in the artery.

2024年10月4日 · Angioplasty is a procedure in which a tiny device is inserted into narrowed blood vessels that supply blood to the heart. This device widens the arteries and increases blood flow. Balloon angioplasty, also known as percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), uses a small, thin tube (called a ...
