S2 L2.7: Management of CAD Flashcards
(44 cards)
What are the five (5) possible management of CAD?
- Identify & treat associated diseases that can precipitate or worsen angina
- Reduce coronary risk factors
- General and nonpharmacological methods, lifestyle modification
- Pharmacological Mx
- Revascularization
Give me the three (3) types or methods for revascularization
- Fibrinolysis
- Percutaneous coronary intervention
- CABG
REVASCULARIZATION
Done in acute coronary syndrome by melting the
clot
Fibrinolysis
REVASCULARIZATION
Heart bypass
Percutaneous coronary intervention
Stent is used to open up the closed arteries so that blood could flow again
CABG
Is the process of getting arteries from the L
intramammary artery where the great saphenous vein is → then is used as a bypass to be attached distally in the lesion while proximal portion is attached to the aorta
CABG
CABG is the process of getting arteries from the L
_______ artery where the ______ _______ vein is →
then is used as a bypass to be attached _____ in the lesion while proximal portion is attached to the _____

Deployment of stents to open up closed arteries to allow blood flow
PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY INTERVENTION
(PCI)/ANGIOPLASTY
Done in the cardiac catheterization lab (cath lab)
PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY INTERVENTION
(PCI)/ANGIOPLASTY
Metallic stent is inserted which stays forever
Stenting
Commonly done in the present
Stenting
Absorbable stent may also be used which dissolves over time after opening the obstructed artery
Stenting
Inflating the inserted balloon material to dilate open the narrowed artery
Balloon Angioplasty
In the past, it was commonly done
without inserting any stent.
Balloon Angioplasty
Also known as Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Coronary Artery Angioplasty (Radial Access)
Procedure is done on the coronary arteries supplying
the heart muscle with oxygen.
Coronary Artery Angioplasty (Radial Access)
Goal is to restore blood flow if a substance if plaque
has significantly narrowed the blood vessels
Coronary Artery Angioplasty (Radial Access)
Arrange the following steps of coronary artery angioplasty (radial access) from 1 to 10:
Needle will be placed through the skin and into the radial artery
Doctor will numb the skin in the wrist
A flexible guidewire will be passed through the needle and into the artery
The guidewire will be advanced to the heart and the catheter will be advanced over the wire to the
coronary artery
Needle will be withdrawn and replaced with a small, flexible tube called the sheath to permit access to the artery. Pressure may be felt when the sheath is inserted but it will not be felt moving inside the artery
If a significant blockage is found, the guidewire will be inserted to the artery
A special dye will be injected to the artery for better viewing. The dye will make any blockage stand out
The doctor will move the tip of the catheter just
inside the coronary artery to be examined
The doctor will remove the guidewire
Progress of the procedure will be checked through an x-ray device called Fluoroscope
- Doctor will numb the skin in the wrist
- Needle will be placed through the skin and into the radial artery
- A flexible guidewire will be passed through the needle and into the artery
- Needle will be withdrawn and replaced with a small, flexible tube called the sheath to permit access to the artery. Pressure may be felt when the sheath is inserted but it will not be felt moving inside the artery
- The guidewire will be advanced to the heart and the catheter will be advanced over the wire to the
coronary artery - Progress of the procedure will be checked through an x-ray device called Fluoroscope
- The doctor will remove the guidewire
- The doctor will move the tip of the catheter just
inside the coronary artery to be examined - A special dye will be injected to the artery for better viewing. The dye will make any blockage stand out
- If a significant blockage is found, the guidewire will be inserted to the artery
Arrange the following steps of coronary artery angioplasty (radial access) to balloon angioplasty from 9 to 13:
A special dye will be injected to the artery for better viewing. The dye will make any blockage stand out
If a significant blockage is found, the guidewire will be inserted to the artery
The doctor will then deflate and remove the balloon
A balloon on the tip of the catheter will be movedalong the wire to the blockage
When the balloon inflates, it will expand the arteryand improve the blood flow. Chest discomfort may be felt
- A special dye will be injected to the artery for better viewing. The dye will make any blockage stand out
- If a significant blockage is found, the guidewire will be inserted to the artery
BALLOON ANGIOPLASTY:
11. A balloon on the tip of the catheter will be movedalong the wire to the blockage
12. When the balloon inflates, it will expand the arteryand improve the blood flow. Chest discomfort may be felt
13. The doctor will then deflate and remove the balloon
Arrange the following steps of balloon angioplasty to stenting from 12 to 18:
At the end of the procedure the guidewire will be removed
When the balloon is inflated, the stent will expand and lock into place
After the balloon catheter is taken out, the stent will stay in place to hold the artery open
The stent will be moved into the artery over the same guidewire
A wire mesh tube called a stent will be placed to the treated area to help keep the coronary artery opened. The doctor will choose the proper size of the stent which will be compressed over the balloon
The doctor will then deflate and remove the balloon
When the balloon inflates, it will expand the artery and improve the blood flow. Chest discomfort maybe felt

11. A balloon on the tip of the catheter will be moved along the wire to the blockage
12. When the balloon inflates, it will expand the artery and improve the blood flow. Chest discomfort maybe felt
13. The doctor will then deflate and remove the balloon
STENTING
14. A wire mesh tube called a stent will be placed to the treated area to help keep the coronary artery opened. The doctor will choose the proper size of the stent which will be compressed over the balloon
15. The stent will be moved into the artery over the same guidewire
16. When the balloon is inflated, the stent will expand and lock into place
17. After the balloon catheter is taken out, the stent will stay in place to hold the artery open
18. At the end of the procedure the guidewire will be removed

Performed to improve circulation to the heart muscle in people with severe coronary artery disease
Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG)
In this procedure, a healthy artery or vein from
another part of the body is connected or grafted to the blocked coronary artery. The grafted artery or vein bypasses the blocked portion of the coronary artery, carrying oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle.
Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG)
T/F
In CABG, one or more coronary arteries may be bypassed during a single operation.
