The present is the first reported case of complex regional pain syndrome presenting as remote postprocedural complication of transfemoral coronary balloon angioplasty. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Pain

  Bone scan confirmed the diagnosis of complex regional pain syndrome. Various analgesics were administered, along with physiotherapist-assisted exercise. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  It may be performed as an emergency procedure after a heart attack or to treat symptoms of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) such as chest pain and shortness of breath. [michaelrowecardiologist.com.au]

  However, if you notice any continued discomfort or pain, such as chest pain, neck or jaw pain, back pain, arm pain, shortness of breath, or breathing trouble, tell your doctor right away. The doctor may inflate and deflate the balloon several times. [hopkinsmedicine.org]

  Balloon angioplasty can improve signs & symptoms of blocked arteries like shortness of breath & chest pain. [travcure.com]

• Swelling

  Abstract Presently described is the case of a 55-year-old man who developed localized pain, allodynia, hyperpathia, and swelling over the right ankle joint following coronary balloon angioplasty, which had been performed via right femoral arterial access [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The catheter site is checked for bleeding and swelling and the heart rate and blood pressure is monitored. Usually, patients receive medication that will relax them to protect the arteries against spasms. [en.wikipedia.org]

  Tell your nurse immediately if you notice swelling or bleeding in this area or if you feel pain, numbness or tingling in your arm or leg. Your family may visit with you after you are settled in your room. [wexnermedical.osu.edu]

• Collapse

  A collapsed balloon at the tip of the catheter is inflated when it reaches the stenosis. A stent is usually placed at the time of ballooning to ensure the artery remains open by preventing the recurrence of a stenosis. [hus.fi]

  The stent is collapsed around the angioplasty balloon at the tip of catheter & is guided through the artery to the blockage site. [travcure.com]

  The 'collapsed' stent covers the balloon and is opened as the balloon is blown up. Some stents are coated with a chemical that helps to prevent the artery from becoming blocked again. [patient.info]

  The difference is that the un-extended or collapsed stent surrounds the balloon. The stent surrounding the balloon is expanded when the balloon is inflated (see previous diagram). [emedicinehealth.com]

  Prevent the artery wall from collapsing or closing off again (restenosis). Prevent small pieces of plaque from breaking off, which might cause a heart attack. What To Expect The procedure may take 30 to 90 minutes. [northshore.org]

• Inflammation

  The presence of the following histologic features was evaluated: plaque concentricity or eccentricity, calcification, fibrous or fibropultaceous plaque, medial disruption, luminal thrombus and inflammation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The disadvantages of delayed endothelialisation, chronic inflammation, malapposition and under-expansion are all irrelevant when there is no permanent implant. [icrjournal.com]

• Coronary Atherosclerosis

  CONCLUSIONS: Although pravastatin has documented efficacy in reducing clinical events and angiographic disease progression in patients with coronary atherosclerosis, this study shows that it has no effect on angiographic outcome at the target site 6 months [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Nausea

  Tell your doctor if you feel any breathing trouble, sweating, numbness, itching, nausea or vomiting, chills, or heart palpitations. After the contrast dye is injected, a series of rapid X-ray images of the heart and coronary arteries will be taken. [hopkinsmedicine.org]

• Vomiting

  Tell your doctor if you feel any breathing trouble, sweating, numbness, itching, nausea or vomiting, chills, or heart palpitations. After the contrast dye is injected, a series of rapid X-ray images of the heart and coronary arteries will be taken. [hopkinsmedicine.org]

• Chest Pain

  It may be performed as an emergency procedure after a heart attack or to treat symptoms of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) such as chest pain and shortness of breath. [michaelrowecardiologist.com.au]

  IC-ECG may also help to clarify the nature of chest pain during PTCA in some patients. Like QT dispersion (QTd), QTc-shortening intervals and new U waves can have prognostic implications and additional studies are needed to define this role. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  You may have some chest pain or discomfort at this point because the blood flow is temporarily blocked by the inflated balloon. Any chest discomfort or pain should go away when the balloon is deflated. [hopkinsmedicine.org]

  Up until this time, cardiologists were concerned primarily with diagnosis and medical management of heart disease. [med.emory.edu]

  However, after some thought and observation, he realized that he had not encountered a complication; instead he had tripped upon the opportunity to diagnose and understand various forms of heart diseases. [books.google.com]

  A carotid stent is used with a balloon angioplasty procedure to open the carotid arteries, the main blood vessels to the brain, and thereby lessen the risk of stroke. [brighamandwomens.org]

On the basis of these encouraging results, a multicenter, randomized trial with operators and patients blinded to treatment assignment is planned. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The major difference between DCB and other treatment options is that the DCB option does not require even a temporary implant. [icrjournal.com]

For patients with ACS undergoing percutaneous balloon angioplasty without coronary stenting in the era of platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa blockade, the long-term prognosis is less clear. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

After an invasive operation, drug therapy is continued to improve the prognosis. Often coronary angiography is immediately followed by balloon angioplasty. [hus.fi]

When successful, percutaneous coronary intervention can relieve chest pain of angina, improve the prognosis of individuals with unstable angina, and minimize or stop a heart attack without having the patient undergo open heart coronary artery bypass graft [bradentonheartcenter.com]

Outlook (Prognosis) For most people, angioplasty greatly improves blood flow through the coronary artery and the heart. It may help you avoid the need for coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). [mountsinai.org]
