Balloon angioplasty with stenting (coronary, visceral, peripheral arteries)

Balloon angioplasty with stenting (coronary, visceral, peripheral arteries)

41.jpg

Stenting of coronary arteries with angioplasty is a modern, low-traumatic operation performed on vessels with atherosclerotic changes and aimed at restoring the lumen of the arteries.

Angioplasty is a medical procedure in which a special balloon is inserted into a vessel damaged by plaque. At the site of damage to the vessel, the balloon is inflated under high pressure, destroys the plaque and presses it into the wall of the vessel. Typically, an additional supporting structure, a stent, is installed in the coronary artery.

The stent in its initial state has the form of a mesh metal cylinder made of a special alloy and is compressed and placed on a balloon. When the balloon is delivered to the location of the plaque, it is inflated, the stent expands with it, after which the balloon is deflated and removed from the artery, and the stent remains in it.
