angioplasty

     

Angioplasty is the technique of mechanical wiening a narrowed or totally obstructed blood vessel; typically as a result of atherosclerosis. Tightly folded balloons are passed into the narrowed locations and then inflated to a fixed size using water pressures some 75 to 500 times normal blood pressure (6 to 20 atmospheres)".

Trivia about angioplasty

  • Invasive coronary bypass surgery was the standard for unclogging arteries before the advent of this procedure
  • In 1977 the balloon type of this procedure was used for the first time to unblock clogged heart arteries
  • In this operation, a surgeon repairs a blood vessel by inserting a balloon-tipped catheter to unblock it
