Surgery Of All Arteries

Procedures and Surgeries

Angioplasty

Angioplasty is a procedure to restore blood flow through the artery. You have angioplasty in a hospital. The doctor threads a thin tube through a blood vessel in the arm or groin up to the involved site in the artery. The tube has a tiny balloon on the end.

It is also known as Percutaneous Coronary Interventions [PCI], Balloon Angioplasty, and Coronary Artery Balloon Dilation.

Artificial Heart Valve Surgery

Replaces an abnormal or diseased heart valve with a healthy one.

Angioplasty

Atherectomy

Similar to angioplasty except that the catheter has a rotating shaver on its tip to cut away plaque from the artery.

Bypass Surgery

Also known as CABG, pronounced “cabbage,” Coronary Artery Bypass Graft done via Open-Heart Surgery

Vascular surgeon diagnoses treat, and manages conditions in your arteries and veins, also called your blood vessels. These specialists treat a range of health problems, from spider and varicose veins to life-threatening aneurysms, and can help patients manage chronic conditions throughout their lives.

Cardiomyoplasty

An experimental procedure in which skeletal muscles are taken from a patient’s back or abdomen. Then they’re wrapped around an ailing heart. This added muscle, aided by ongoing stimulation from a device similar to a pacemaker, may boost the heart’s pumping motion.

Heart Transplant

Removes a diseased heart and replaces it with a healthy human heart when a heart is irreversibly damaged. Uses hearts from organ donation.

Stent Placement

A stent is a wire mesh tube used to prop open an artery during angioplasty. The stent stays in the artery permanently.
