This 3D medical animation depicts a coronary artery blockage confirmed by angiogram test, followed by a balloon angioplasty and stent repair. The animation begins by zooming into a coronary artery on the heart, and showing the buildup of plaque. Afterward, a guidewire (guy wire) and catheter with contrast dye are inserted into a blood vessel in the groin, and threaded up to the coronary vessels. As the dye is released, the location of the coronary artery blockage is revealed. Next, a balloon and stent are used to open the blocked artery and resume normal blood flow.

  • L'operazione corrisponde a quella che mi hanno fatto. Per liberare l'aorta prima hanno gonfiato diversi palloncini 5/6 circa con misura da mm 2,5x12 fino a 3,75x12. Poi mi hanno inserito due STENT del modello Xience da 3,0x18 e 3,5x23. Evviva ora sono guarito!!!
