Percutaneous Trans Luminar Coronary Angioplasty and its Nursing Care

Free radical activity during percutaneous trans-luminal coronary angioplasty.

three centrifugations (gel I). Rather, we believe that successive centrifugation of large chylomicrons for 6 x 10' gmin results in their purification with loss of VLDL and small chylomicrons containing apo B100. The results demonstrate that purified large chylomicrons contain apo B-48, but do not contain apo B100 and that the apo B-1 00 in chyle is located in the small chylomicron and VLDL frac...

Assessment of patients skin dose undergoing coronary angiography and Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA)

Background: Practice of interventional cardiology procedures such as Coronary angiography (CA) and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) has largely increased in recent years and is now changing to a matter of routine in many hospitals. The purpose of this study was to measure skin and organ doses in patients undergoing CA and PTCA and to find a probable relation with c...

The effect of primary nursing care on the patients’ ‎perception of nursing care behavior after coronary ‎angioplasty

Background & Aim: Cardiovascular diseases, especially coronary artery disease, are one of the most common causes of death worldwide. Recently, coronary intervention through the skin has been used for treatment, which has significantly reduced mortality rates. Nursing care behavior is of special importance in reducing the complications of angioplasty. The purpose of this study was to determine t...

Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.

Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is a nonoperative mechanical dilatation of atherosclerotic coronary artery stenosis by a balloon-tipped dilating catheter system. This method can effectively reduce highly stenotic coronary lesions and provide early recovery of ischemic but viable myocardium. The technique of transluminal angioplasty was originally devised by Dotter and Judk...

Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.

Percutaneous coronary laser thermal angioplasty.

Percutaneous coronary laser thermal angioplasty was successfully performed before conventional balloon angioplasty in a 55 year old white man with a 90% left anterior descending artery stenotic lesion and angina at rest (Canadian Heart Association class IV). The lesion was reduced to 50% residual stenosis using a 1.7 mm laser-heated metallic capped fiber and two pulses of 8 W of argon laser ene...
