- [Narrator] A coronary
angioplasty procedure is also known
as percutaneous coronary intervention.
The procedure is done on blood vessels
called coronary arteries.
They supply your heart muscle with oxygen.
The goal is to restore
blood flow if a substance
called plaque has significantly
narrowed these vessels.
To begin the procedure,
the doctor will numb
the skin in your groin.
A needle will be placed through your skin
and into the femoral artery.
Next, a flexible guide wire will be passed
through the needle into your artery.
Then, the needle will be withdrawn.
It will be exchanged
for a small, flexible
tube called a sheath.
This permits access into your artery.
You may feel pressure when
the doctor inserts the sheath,
but you will not feel it
moving inside your artery.
Next, the guide wire will be
advanced up to your heart.
A flexible tube called a
catheter will be advanced
over the wire to your coronary arteries.
The progress of the
procedure will be checked
with an X-ray device called a fluoroscope.
At this point, your doctor
will remove the guide wire.
Then, the doctor will move
the tip of the catheter
just inside the coronary
artery to be examined.
A special dye will be
injected into the artery.
This allows your doctor to view it better
with a fluoroscope.
The dye will make any blockages
in the artery stand out.
If a significant blockage is found,
your doctor will insert a
guide wire into the artery.
A balloon on the tip of
the catheter will be moved
along the wire to the blockage.
When the balloon inflates,
it will expand the artery
and improve the blood flow.
You may feel some chest discomfort
while this is happening.
After this, your doctor will
deflate and remove the balloon.
A wire mesh tube called
a stent may be placed
in the treated area.
The stent helps keep the
coronary artery open.
Your doctor will choose
the proper size stent,
which is compressed over a balloon.
The stent will be moved into the artery
over the same guide wire.
When the balloon is inflated,
the stent will expand and lock into place.
After the balloon catheter is taken out,
the stent will stay in place
to hold the artery open.
At the end of the procedure,
the guide wire will be removed.
To find out more about
coronary artery angioplasty,
talk to your healthcare provider.
