What is coronary artery ballooning?

Cardiovascular ballooning is a non-surgical procedure that is used to treat some cardiovascular problems. This method is also known as angioplasty. In this process, a small balloon is delivered through a thin tube to the place of narrowing in the heart vessels (coronary vessels).

What is the purpose of coronary artery ballooning?

Coronary Angioplasty or coronary angioplasty is a non-surgical procedure that uses balloons to open and expand the blockages and beds of the heart vessels. This process is done with the aim of increasing blood flow to the heart and improves blood supply to the heart muscle. The reasons for ballooning the coronary artery are:

1. Reduction of vasoconstriction: ballooning the coronary artery is used as the main method to treat blockages and beds of cardiac vessels. This process causes the blockages that may occur in the coronary arteries (heart vessels) to be opened.
2. Improving blood supply: by increasing the diameter of the heart vessels, the blood flow to the heart muscle improves. This improvement in blood supply reduces the symptoms of heart problems such as heart pain (angina).
3. Prevention of heart attacks: Ballooning of the heart vein can be effective in preventing heart attacks in people with heart artery blockages. By reopening the arteries, the possibility of a heart attack is significantly reduced.
4. Eliminating the complications related to the narrowing of the arteries: narrowings and blockages of the heart vessels can cause various complications such as angina (heart pain), heart weakness and even heart attacks. These side effects are improved by ballooning the heart vein.
5. Accelerating the patient's recovery: Heart vein ballooning is performed as a non-surgical and immediate method to correct heart vessel problems. This issue usually facilitates the rapid recovery of patients and reduces the need for long-term hospitalization.

Heart vein ballooning is one of the most effective and widely used medical methods in the treatment of heart vessel problems, and it is used as a therapeutic solution in heart vessel disease due to its advantages and positive effects.

Steps of heart ballooning

The steps of heart ballooning are From:

1. Access to heart vessels: First, a thin tube (catheter) is passed to the heart through a small vessel, usually in the pelvic area or arm. This stage is also known as angiography, and images of the heart's vessels are obtained using X-rays.
2. Balloon placement: A thin balloon is placed at the end of the catheter. This balloon reaches the narrow or closed area in the heart vessels.
3. Ballooning (angioplasty): By expanding the balloon in the place of the vessel closure, the vessel wall is opened and the blood flow to the heart is opened. This procedure improves blood supply to the heart muscle and reduces the symptoms of heart problems related to narrowing of the heart vessels.

This effective method in treating blood clots and It is a coronary artery bed and is used as an alternative to open heart surgery (CABG). Heart ballooning can increase the speed of treatment and allow patients to return to daily activities in the shortest possible time.

What are the advantages and side effects of heart ballooning?

In the following, we will examine the advantages and possible side effects of heart ballooning:

Benefits of heart ballooning

1. Reducing blood clots: Heart ballooning as an angioplasty procedure, leads to the opening and expansion of heart vessels. it will be This action increases the blood flow to the heart, which improves blood supply and reduces vascular congestion.
2. Urgent treatment: Inflating the heart as a non-surgical and therapeutic method provides a significant effect on the immediate improvement of congestion and cardiovascular problems. Many patients quickly return to their daily activities after this procedure.
3. Decreasing the need for open surgery: By performing heart ballooning, the need for open surgery, which may be associated with more complications, is reduced. This means reducing the patient's hospitalization time and the speed of recovery for some patients.

Possible side effects of coronary artery ballooning

1. Damage to the vessel wall: In some cases, the use of the balloon may cause damage to the vessel wall, which may lead to the formation of a blood clot (thrombosis).
2. Complications of bleeding: If bleeding occurs after ballooning the heart, it may lead to complications.

To the extent that we have mentioned some of the complications and benefits of ballooning the heart, the decision to perform this procedure should be made based on the diagnosis and recommendations of the doctor and consulted specialists.

What activities should we not do after ballooning the heart?

After ballooning the heart (angioplasty) coronary), there are some recommendations and restrictions for patients to avoid the most possible problems or delays in the rehabilitation of the disease. Below are a number of activities that patients should avoid or limit after ballooning the heart:

1. Extreme activities and heavy sports: After ballooning the heart, it is better to avoid very intense activities and heavy sports. The exercise program should be adjusted in consultation with the relevant doctor and started gradually. Hyperactivity: Avoiding hyperactivity and activities that increase blood pressure or heart rate is important until the doctor approves. Consuming large amounts of salt: Consuming large amounts of salt may increase blood pressure. Therefore, it is better to limit the intake of salt.
2. Alcohol consumption: Alcohol consumption should also be stopped.
3. Smoking: Smoking is one of the risk factors for heart problems and should be completely avoided after ballooning the heart.
4. Rest: After ballooning the heart, some patients need to rest. The doctor may recommend to rest for a period of time after this procedure.
5. Drugs: The drugs prescribed by the doctor must be taken carefully and in the specified amount and time. Any change in medications should be done in consultation with the doctor.
6. Regular follow-up with the doctor: Regular follow-up with the treating doctor is very important. Ensuring the progress and health of the heart balloon operation is done through frequent medical consultations and examinations.
