cardiopulm - 6 medical procedures for heart Flashcards
atheerectomy
similar to angioplasty
catherter has a rotating shaver to cut away the plaque
what is a angiolpasty
a minimally invasive procedure that widens narrowed or blocked arteries or veins
often used to treat arterial atherosclerosis and restore blood flow to the heart muscle
automatic implatable cardioverter-defibrillator (ACID)
surgically implanted device similar to a pacemaker that continuously monitors the heart rhythm
and
delivers electric shocks to restore normal heart rhythm when needed
what is balloon valvuplasty
uses cardiac catheterization to treat a stenotic heart valves
ballon in inflated to open the narrowed valve and increase blood flow
what is cardiac ablation
uses radio freq or chemical to dectroy areas of the myocardium that have ID to be carrying cardiac arrthy
what is wolff parkinson white syndrome
a rare, congenital heart condition that causes an arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat, due to an extra electrical pathway in the heart
cardiac pacmaker
a pace maker is surgically implanted
standard treatment for conditions effects the electro conduction system of the heart - slow HR and arrthy
cardioversion
performed to restore normal HR for tachy-arrhy that do not respond to meds
electric shock are delivery by a defibriallator
CABG (coronary bypass graft surgery)
performed to treat coronary art that narrow or occluded in an attempt to revascularize the myocardium
blood is rerouted around the the effected artery
enhanced extracorporeal counterpulsation (EECP)
a noninvasive procedure in which inflation of a cuff in the LE help with venous flow back to the heart
intra aortic ballon conterpulsation (IABP)
inflation and deflation of a balloon placed in the aorta to assist w/ circulation
ventriclar assist device (VAD)
mini pump that provides mechanical support to the ventrucle
commonly used for the temp treatment for people who are waiting for a heart transplant
sometime a permanent fix for HF
