 Most advanced Cardiac treatment now avoids a major
open heart surgery as, interventional radiologists can now
open blocked or narrowed blood vessels caused by
peripheral arterial disease or other conditions. For
example, in some patients, high blood pressure is caused
by blockage in the artery to the kidney, a condition
known as renal vascular hypertension. Interventional
radiologists can often treat blocked blood vessels without
surgery. In most cases, hospitalization and general
anaesthesia are not required. There is no surgical incision
--just a small nick in the skin -- and no stitches are
needed. Often, patients may return to normal activity
shortly after the procedure.

Benefits of Interventional Cardiology
 Some of the advantages of minimally invasive interventional cardiology
are decreased pain, less risk of infection, avoidance of large scars and
shorter postoperative recovery times. In many instances, patients are
awake during the procedure, requiring only a local anaesthetic.
Additionally, many procedures are performed on an outpatient basis,
allowing patients to go home within hours of the procedure.

A majority of interventional cardiology procedures are performed in
the cardiovascular (heart, veins and arteries) system. Most
interventional cardiology procedures are considered to be minimally
invasive because they do not require an instrument to enter the body
or large incisions -- most incisions are approximately 1 inch. These
procedures usually involve the insertion of a catheter (hollow tube)
into the femoral artery in the upper thigh. The catheter is guided
toward the heart or vascular area through the use of real-time X-ray.

• Balloon Angioplasty - Balloon Angioplasty is a procedure in
which a narrowed heart valve is stretched open in a way that does
not require open heart surgery. It is a procedure in which a thin
tube (catheter) that has a small deflated balloon at the tip is
inserted through the skin in the groin area into a blood vessel, and
then is threaded up to the opening of the narrowed heart valve.
The balloon is inflated, which stretches the valve open. This
procedure cures many valve obstructions. It is also called balloon
enlargement of a narrowed heart valve.

• Stents - Approximately 70% of angioplasty procedures also involve stinting,
which is the insertion of a small metal cylinder called a stent into a blood vessel. In
this procedure, a collapsed stent is placed over the balloon at the tip of the catheter.
When the balloon inflates, the stent pops open and reinforces the artery walls. The
balloon and catheter are then withdrawn and the stent inside permanently. In a few
weeks, tissue from the artery lining grows over the stent. There are two types of
stents. Bare-metal stents are plain, untreated metal cylinders. Drug-eluting stents
(also called drug-coated stents) are coated with medication before they are placed
in the artery.

• Rotablation (Percutaneous Transluminal Rotational
Atherectomy or PTRA) - A special catheter, with an acorn-
shaped, diamond-coated tip, is guided to the point of narrowing in
the coronary artery. The tip spins around at a high speed and
grinds away the plaque on the arterial walls. This process is
repeated as needed to treat the blockage and improve blood flow.
The microscopic particles are washed safely away in your blood
stream and filtered out by your liver and spleen.

Treatment of Heart Diseases
• Drug-Eluting Stents - A drug-eluting stent (DES) is a coronary stent (a scaffold)
placed into narrowed, diseased coronary artery. It slowly releases a drug to block
cell proliferation. This prevents fibrosis that, together with clots (thrombus), could
otherwise block the stented artery, a process called restenosis. The stent is usually
placed within the coronary artery by an Interventional cardiologist during an
angioplasty procedure.

Dissolvable Stents

Heart patients to benefit from dissolvable stent introduced
for treatment of coronary Dissolvable Stents artery disease
at SafeMedTrip.com affiliated world class hospital in India.
Doctors at SafeMedTrip.com affiliated Hospitals are now performing angioplasty
using a revolutionary device, which is made of dissolvable material and is a
natural substitute for the metallic stent that is currently used to prop open the
artery at the site of the blockage. Unlike a metallic stent, which remains in the
body for a lifetime, the new device gets dissolved in due course – once the artery
becomes normal. A metallic stent, being a foreign body, would can cause side
effects sometimes. To overcome that patients have to be on lifetime medication,
which in turn can cause gastro-intestinal bleeding and stroke. There would be no
such side effects with the new device as it would get dissolved in the body after a
year.

Dissolvable Stents
SafeMedTrip.com
Experts list three major advantages of the absorbable
scaffolding. There is no question of stent thrombosis (clotting)
because the scaffolding dissolves. The biggest advantage is that
patients will not need to take two anti-platelet (blood-thinning)
medicines for years on end. Cardiac patients across India now
have a new option while seeking treatment for their hearts. They
can ask for a bio-absorbable stent, which will completely
disappear some 18-odd months after it's fixed in their blocked
blood vessel. At present, metallic stents that permanently stay in
the blood vessel are the most-sought-after treatment for cardiac
diseases.
