Blockage5
  • Just because a doctor sees a blockage in a heart artery in a patient without symptoms does NOT necessarily mean the heart would benefit from angioplasty. (patrickmalonelaw.com)
  • However, if someone is in the middle of having a heart attack due to the sudden blockage of a heart artery, urgently opening the artery with a stent would prevent a small heart attack from becoming a severe heart attack and can prolong survival. (dailymirror.lk)
  • If a blockage is found, a tiny balloon can be delivered through the sheath, which when inflated pushes the plaque up against the wall of the artery to restore blood flow. (atlantichealth.org)
  • This minimally invasive procedure, called angioplasty, can relieve a blockage within minutes after it's discovered. (atlantichealth.org)
  • Similarly, at the blockage, the balloon is inflated and the spring-like stent expands and locks into place inside the artery. (researchandmarkets.com)
Coronary artery1
  • An important study published in the New England Journal of Medicine a few years ago revealed that patients with stable heart disease, who had angioplasty-stent procedures and took drugs to treat their coronary artery disease, had the same risk of future cardiovascular events as the patients who only took the drugs.
