Understanding Artherectomy
What is Artherectomy?
Artherectomy is a procedure for opening a coronary artery blocked by plaque, the buildup of cholesterol and other fatty substances in the inner lining of the artery.
Different Angioplastic Procedures:
Coronary angioplasty refers to the procedure in which a catheter is used to widen narrowed coronary arteries. The narrowing is caused by a build up of cholesterol which lines the walls of the artery due to artherosclerosis. Angioplasit is performed by a interventional cardiologist.
Peripheral Angioplasty refers to the procedure in which the vein is widened to treat narrowed veins.
What is a Catheter?
The tip of the catheter is a high speed rotating device which grinds the plaque up into minute particles. Balloon angioplasty may then be used to help re-open the narrowed area of the artery. Catheters are typically made up of a range of polymers, including scilicon rubber latex and thermo plastic elastomers.
