http://www.nucleusinc.com This 3D heart animation shows a coronary artery angioplasty surgery, also called a percutaneous coronary intervention, or PCI, to correct a blocked artery in the heart. It begins by showing the buildup of plaque in an artery wall of the heart, blocking the flow of blood. Afterwards, the patient lies on a testing table while contrast dye is injected into the arteries of the heart, showing the location of the blockage. A guide wire is then moved through the lumen of the blood vessel, followed by a balloon and stent mechanism. The balloon inflates, putting the metal stent in place, so that the lumen of the artery is open and the red blood cells can flow freely. ANCE00178

I've had this procedure done twice. The first time I had a heart attack, I was air lifted to Umass Worcester, I was in and out of it but I had the angilplasty done and a stent was placed. The femoral artery was used. 2 yrs later I had a 2nd heart attack, a mild one, but they had to reopen the stented artery again, that was the Friday before Christmas 09. The 2nd time they went through my right wrist. I have to take asprin and plavix to prevent this.
wow, amazing footage. see my new song on Youtube at my site songsterhiragana link called "My Stented Heart" and you can hear the mp3 and the lyrics at my blogpost at "amafubme". Had heart attacky on Nov. 6th. Damn these things! Thank God for good doctors and this techno marvel called a stent. Do you have one yet? Fits inside neatly. So far so good
I was 39 when I had my stint done. I thank the good lord above that I knew the signs of a heart attack and was able to get help right away. Always remember knowlage is power. PS not plaque but a blood clot caused my heart attack.
