Explain Angioplasty

• Guidewire inserted to vessel

• Catheter w/ Balloon at the end is passed over the guidewire

• Balloon expands to widen the narrow vessel

• Stent may be inserted

Explain Atherectomy

• Removal of plaque from blood vessels using vacuum, Laser, saline jet

• helps with blood flow

Explain Thrombectomy

• Removal of Blood Clot

• Removed with vacuum/saline jet/medication at the site to reduce

Explain Thrombolysis

• Removal of Blood Clot w/ Drugs

• Contrast is injected

• Medication around the clot and then it is removed

• Balloon angioplasty → Stent Insertion
