For purposes of revascularization, PVD is considered in terms of inflow (aortoiliac) and outflow (infrainguinal) occlusive disease. Revascularization options for these patients are open surgery which includes endarterectomy, bypass surgery, or extra-anatomic bypass [axillofemoral bypass and percutaneous endovascular repair. Aortoiliac and aortofemoral bypass procedures are associated with 74% to 95% 5-year patency rates, respectively, which are comparable but not superior to percutaneous…

not disappoint. I observed a quick and simple coronary catheterization that took all of five minutes, and the rest of my time was spent watching a complicated angioplasty. An x-ray technician pointed out what the cardiologist was looking at on the screen as he explained the anatomy and physiology I was observing. The progress of the angioplasty was slow and steady, but as one of the nurses was removing the wires and preparing to close the puncture sites the patient went into ventricular…

times, medicine is necessary--for carotid artery occlusion, ticlopidine, clopidogrel, and asprin are used. Alternatively, acute peripheral artery disease usually requires surgery; common surgeries are laser angioplasty (the use of excision and lasers to clear the obstruction), balloon angioplasty (the use of balloon inflation to clear the obstruction), embolectomy (the use of a balloon-tipped catheter to remove it), or thromboendarterectomy (the direct removal of obstruction). In conclusion,…

My presentation is on Atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis was named in 1904 by Felix Marchand. Felix and his research team continued research, finding that cholesterol has a big impact on the risk of the disease. Their efforts caused many others to follow in their footsteps and continue research. Before we continue with this presentation, it is important for you to understand a few important terms. Plaque is a sticky material containing fat, cholesterol, and calcium An artery is a tube that…

procedures are angioplasty, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), and carotid endarterectomy. The purpose of these three procedures is to clear an artery of any plaque buildup to reduce any chance of cardiac ischemia, angina, thrombosis, or embolism to name a few. These three techniques will help reduce the chance of myocardial infarction and stroke. Angioplasty is one of the most common medical treatments used for atherosclerosis. There are three steps to complete an angioplasty: a medical…

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Over 60% of the cardiovascular deaths are due to ischemic heart disease (IHD) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) (cdc wonder ref). Systemic hypertension is one of the leading risk factors worldwide for IHD and AMI (GBD). Hypertension affects over 75 million people in the United States and the prevalence is increasing worldwide. Heart attack statistics showed that 69% of patients who present with their first myocardial…
