Percutaneous coronary angioplasty, i.e. PTCA, is the application used to intervene in narrowing and blockages in the coronary arteries. It shows successful results in the treatment of stenotic conditions, that is, narrowing of the coronary arteries. As a therapeutic procedure, it offers very effective benefits in the treatment of coronary artery. Basically, percutaneous coronary angioplasty is the application of mechanical vasodilation in narrowed or completely occluded coronary artery vessels. Coronary artery occlusions caused by atherosclerosis can be treated with minimally invasive or percutaneous methods within the scope of percutaneous coronary angioplasty. Percutaneous coronary angioplasty can be performed in a planned manner after coronary angiography or immediately after coronary angiography.
The balloon procedure can also be applied with the planning after coronary angiography or immediately after the coronary angiography procedure. It is also known that the balloon procedure is performed simultaneously with percutaneous coronary angioplasty. The balloon process actually includes the process of placing a catheter. Catheters are tubes placed in the abdominal cavity, duct, or veins. Catheters have many different functions. Fluid drainage, injection, more comfortable use of surgical instruments are among these features. The balloon application, which is performed with percutaneous coronary angioplasty, is performed to provide expansion. With the catheterization process performed with balloon catheters, the vascular stenosis of the patients is opened and widened. Thus, the channels will be enlarged and the possibility of preventing the problem arises. The balloon catheter has an inflatable balloon at its tip, and the balloon sent to the relevant area can be inflated at that point. After the procedure is completed, the balloon is deflated again and taken out of the relevant area.
