Doctors often use minimally invasive procedures such as balloon angioplasty and stenting to relieve the narrowing and improve blood supply to the kidney and intestines. In severe cases, an abdominal bypass operation may be necessary to improve the blood flow to the intestine. These treatment options are listed as follows: Balloon angioplasty. During this procedure, your doctor places a tiny, soft plastic tube called a catheter into the artery, usually in the groin, and inject a dye that makes the blood vessels clearly visible on an x-ray image.

right coronary artery :: Article Creator The Next Game Changers For Radial Access In… PERIPHERAL ARTERY DISEASE Sameh Sayfo, MD, MBA, FSCAI, FACCBaylor Scott & White The Heart Hospital–PlanoPlano, Texassameh.Sayfo@bswhealth.OrgDisclosures: Consultant to Terumo, Surmodics, AngioDynamics, Shockwave Medical, and Medtronic. Transradial access for coronary artery intervention has been adopted steadily over the last 15 years. In the current era of coronary intervention, it has become a class I indication due to the extensive research showing a significantly lower rate of access site complication and better safety profile with this approach. In 2019, we received the first dedicated radial-to-peripheral sheath that allowed us to intervene on iliac and intrainguinal arterial disease (R2P Destination Slender, Terumo Interventional Systems). Radial-to-peripheral technology has improved quickly since then and now provides operators a diverse tool kit t...

Rebecca Bostock underwent an operation after being diagnosed with Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome (SMAS) but her symptoms returned five weeks later. She said more understanding of SMAS, which affects fewer than one per cent of the population, was needed. "It's very difficult to have diagnosed, let alone get treatment for," she said. "People are just not aware of it. "You are doing your own research, there needs to be more information out there," added the 33-year-old from Winchcombe, Gloucestershire.

Rebecca Lewis, 48, had a spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD), when a tear appears in the wall of a coronary artery. Although not conclusive, it is likely that her sister Angharad experienced the same thing three days later.   SCAD is a rare condition that cannot currently be predicted or prevented. The majority of cases affect women in their 40s or 50s or those who have recently had a baby.
