What is a 2 vessel bypass?

on October 30, 2019. Double bypass surgery is a serious but common open-heart surgical procedure. It involves the circumvention of blood vessels that supply the heart with its own blood supply, called the coronary arteries.

Which arm is used for cardiac catheterization?

Transradial cardiac catheterization can be effectively and safely performed using either right or left radial arteries for vascular access.

What is great saphenous vein?

The saphenous vein (otherwise known as the great saphenous vein or GSV) is the longest in the human body. It extends from the top of the foot to the upper thigh/groin area and like all veins, problems can occur.

What is injected for sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy uses an irritating solution called a sclerosant, which is injected directly into a vein or lymph vessel. The solution irritates the vessel, causing it to swell. This swelling cuts off the flow of blood or lymphatic fluid and the vessel shrinks.

Can arteries clog after bypass surgery?

Unfortunately, it is rather common for a patient to have blockages in the coronary arteries and in the bypass after a coronary artery bypass graft (or CABG). The heart muscle is threatened when one or more of the arteries carrying oxygenated blood through it is partially or completely blocked.

What happens if they find a blockage during an angiogram?

If the angiogram shows serious blockages, the interventional cardiologist may immediately perform a coronary interventional procedure, such as balloon angioplasty and stenting, to open the blockage and restore blood flow to your heart.
