- Atherectomy

- Vascular Stenting

- Dialysis Access Angioplasty

Renal Angiogram:

 

An imaging test that looks at the

 arteries in your kidneys. If an

artery is blocked, it could be the

 cause of hypertension. For this

test, we inject a contrast dye into

 the artery that brings blood into

 the kidney, and then use X-ray

 images to watch the dye as it

flows through the blood vessels

 in the kidneys. Following the

 procedure, you will need to have

 someone drive you home. You

 may go back to your usual diet

 and activities after the test,

unless your healthcare provider

 tells you otherwise.

Lower extremity

angiogram:

 

Also referred to as a peripheral

 angiogram, this test uses x-ray

and a dye to find narrow or

blocked areas in the arteries that

 supply blood to your legs.

Following the procedure, you

will be asked not to drive for at

least 24 hours. While the

puncture site may be tender for

 several days, you may be able to

 return to your normal activities

 the next day.

atherectomy:

 

A non-surgical procedure to

 remove plaque from blocked

arteries or vein grafts so that

blood can flow more freely to the

 heart muscles. In an

artherectomy, the plaque is

shaved or vaporized away with

tiny rotating blades or a laser on

the end of a catheter.  Once the

 treatment is complete, the

catheter is removed.

loop recorders:

 

A small device implanted just

under the skin of the chest and

used for cardiac monitoring. It

 records the electrical signals of

your heart and allows remote

 monitoring and can help

determine if a fast or slow

heartbeat is what is causing your

 problems. While the device is

 somewhat similar to a pacemaker,

 it does not regulate heart rate.

You should be able to go home

the day of the procedure, but

will need someone to drive you.

venous stenting:

 

Metal mesh tubes that expand

against blocked or narrowed vein

 walls and act as a scaffold to

keep veins open. In most cases,

 surgeons place venous stents in

 larger, central veins like those

found in your legs, chest or

abdomen. Patients who undergo

this procedure will go home the

same day and be prescribed

medicine for a few months to

prevent blood clots from developing.

dialysis access

angioplasty:

 

The process in which excess fluid

 and toxins are filtered from

blood through a dialysis machine.

 Recovery will vary widely and will

 depend on individual health and

 conditions.
