How Do You Spell CORONARY BALLOON ANGIOPLASTIES?

Pronunciation: [kˈɒɹənəɹi bəlˈuːn ˈaŋɡɪˌɒplɐstɪz] (IPA)

Coronary Balloon Angioplasties (kɒˈrɒnəri ˈbæluːn ændʒiəˈplæstiz) is a medical procedure used to expand narrowed or blocked arteries which supply blood to the heart muscle. The spelling of this word can be broken down phonetically, with 'coronary' being pronounced with stress on the second syllable (kəˈrɒnəri) and 'angioplasties' being pronounced with stress on the third syllable (ændʒiəˈplæstiz). The word 'balloon' is pronounced with the stress on the first syllable (bæˈluːn) and the entire word is commonly used in medical jargon.

CORONARY BALLOON ANGIOPLASTIES Meaning and Definition

1. Coronary balloon angioplasty, also known as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), is a medical procedure used to treat cardiovascular conditions such as coronary artery disease. In this procedure, a thin, flexible tube called a catheter is inserted into a blood vessel, typically in the groin or arm, and guided towards the coronary arteries of the heart.

   Once the catheter reaches the affected area of the coronary artery, a small deflated balloon mounted on the catheter is positioned within the narrowed or blocked artery. The balloon is then inflated, widening the arterial space and compressing the fatty deposits or plaque against the arterial walls. This action increases blood flow to the heart muscle by opening up the narrowed or blocked artery.

   Coronary balloon angioplasties are often accompanied by the placement of a stent, which is a small mesh tube inserted into the newly expanded artery to help keep it open and prevent future narrowing. Stents can be coated with medication or drug-eluting, which can further help to prevent restenosis, the re-narrowing of the artery.

   This minimally invasive procedure is performed by interventional cardiologists, who use real-time imaging techniques, such as X-rays or intravascular ultrasound, to guide them during the procedure. Coronary balloon angioplasties are typically done in a cardiac catheterization laboratory (cath lab) and can be an effective treatment option for patients with coronary artery disease, improving blood flow to the heart and relieving symptoms like chest pain (angina).
