Black Harvard doctor pens memoir of Jim Crow South 2010-12-25T22:16:04Z About 1 million angioplasties are done each year nationwide - half of them in patients with stable heart disease. Landmark study had little impact on heart care 2011-05-10T22:16:05Z For instance, 96 percent said each hospital's angioplasty performance should be tracked and the results publicly reported. Cardiologists Say Patients Can Safely Get Angioplasty Without Surgeons on Site 2011-12-13T13:00:00Z For example, White said evidence shows that blacks receive less pain medication for the same injuries as whites, and Latinos received less angioplasty and bypass surgery for heart disease than whites. Doctor's mission: Fighting disparities in health care 2010-12-26T00:40:06Z During angioplasty, a balloon-tipped catheter is threaded into a clogged artery to push blockages aside; usually a small mesh tube called a stent is placed in the artery to help keep it from re-narrowing. Heart stenting on the rise in Canada 2010-12-01T22:31:00Z Angiomax, also known as bivalirudin, is now approved to help prevent blood clots in patients undergoing angioplasty, a procedure to open clogged arteries. Angiomax Patent May Be Extended 2010-10-05T18:09:00Z Before the landmark findings, fewer than half the patients received drug treatment first, then an angioplasty. Landmark study had little impact on heart care 2011-05-10T22:16:05Z The cardiologists were also nearly unanimous in their view that hospitals with poor results should be required to improve, or lose their state certification to perform angioplasty. Cardiologists Say Patients Can Safely Get Angioplasty Without Surgeons on Site 2011-12-13T13:00:00Z Patients were randomized to receive either angioplasty with stenting or bypass. Heart-bypass surgery underused, study says 2010-09-13T07:46:00Z For the study, published in the American Heart Journal, Hassan and his colleagues looked at government data on all cases of angioplasty and heart bypass surgery -- another option for treating blocked heart arteries -- across Canada. Heart stenting on the rise in Canada 2010-12-01T22:31:00Z It turns out I had a brain aneurysm, and a week later I’m getting angioplasty surgery. A Brutal Business 2010-09-13T19:57:00Z While recent signs indicate that angioplasty use is decreasing, the new study results suggest not nearly enough heart patients are being given appropriate drug treatment instead. Landmark study had little impact on heart care 2011-05-10T22:16:05Z Advocates of expanding access to angioplasty to smaller hospitals without heart surgery suites say they must offer elective angioplasties if they're also going to treat heart attack patients. Cardiologists Say Patients Can Safely Get Angioplasty Without Surgeons on Site 2011-12-13T13:00:00Z For patients with mild disease, the two procedures produced equivalent results, so angioplasty might be preferred because it is easier on the patient. Heart-bypass surgery underused, study says 2010-09-13T07:46:00Z Ratios of angioplasty to bypass surgery also varied among provinces. Heart stenting on the rise in Canada 2010-12-01T22:31:00Z Some planned readmissions—a heart attack patient is readmitted for an angioplasty, say—are excluded. Health Reform Takes Aim at Hospital Readmission Rates 2010-07-21T22:00:00Z In an angioplasty, a small balloon is used to clear a blocked coronary artery -- the artery that supplies blood directly to the heart -- and a stent is inserted to keep the artery clear. Does it matter what time you have a heart stent? 2010-06-17T20:07:00Z All of the hospitals performed at least 200 angioplasties a year. Cardiologists Say Patients Can Safely Get Angioplasty Without Surgeons on Site 2011-12-13T13:00:00Z But the differences were much more dramatic for those with more severe disease, which is present in about half of all patients undergoing angioplasty in the United States. Heart-bypass surgery underused, study says 2010-09-13T07:46:00Z In addition, patients may often prefer angioplasty to bypass surgery, as it is less invasive and has a shorter recovery time. Heart stenting on the rise in Canada 2010-12-01T22:31:00Z A quick fix for chest pain - artery-opening angioplasty - requires far more imaging and radiation than bypass surgery does. Americans get most radiation from medical scans 2010-06-14T06:16:00Z Every year, more than 1 million people in the U.S. undergo angioplasty, a procedure with a price tag in the thousands of dollars. Does it matter what time you have a heart stent? 2010-06-17T20:07:00Z People who have been treated, with an approved and simple angioplasty are having amazing results. Why Don't More Medical Discoveries Become Cures? 2010-05-15T01:20:00Z “We found a 55 percent reduction in heart attacks, 48 percent reduction in stroke, 45 percent reduction in angioplasty bypass surgery,” Dr. Ridker said in a recent interview. Risks Seen in Wider Use of Statins Like Crestor 2010-03-30T22:19:00Z Unlike bypass surgery, which is the realm of cardiac surgeons, cardiologists with the appropriate training can perform angioplasty. Heart stenting on the rise in Canada 2010-12-01T22:31:00Z But he and Neville decided angioplasty was the least risky option for a limited test. Testing new MS theory as patients demand care now 2010-03-22T20:49:00Z While some angioplasties are emergency procedures, others are scheduled in advance to stop patients with heart disease from getting worse, or to relieve their symptoms. Does it matter what time you have a heart stent? 2010-06-17T20:07:00Z A large study found that among patients admitted to the hospital for a heart attack, women were far less likely than men to get angiography to find vessel blockages or angioplasty to clear them. Women more likely to die after heart attack 2010-03-16T12:53:00Z He underwent quadruple bypass surgery after his third attack in 1988 and subsequently received several angioplasties, which are commonly needed repeatedly when the arteries narrow again. Former vice president Cheney released from hospital after fifth heart attack 2010-02-25T05:00:00Z Hassan also pointed to the possible role of financial pressures, such as trimming patients' hospital stays by opting for angioplasty over bypass. Heart stenting on the rise in Canada 2010-12-01T22:31:00Z The angioplasty is usually done with the patient awake but sedated. 2010-02-12T14:50:00Z Eighteen afternoon patients needed the angioplasty repeated or needed heart bypass surgery within the next month, versus 12 morning patients. Does it matter what time you have a heart stent? 2010-06-17T20:07:00Z Dramatic effect An angioplasty - a small balloon was positioned in the vein and slowly inflated. 2010-02-11T12:06:00Z They found that 94 percent of patients for whom angioplasty was indicated by the guidelines were recommended for angioplasty. 2010-01-12T19:33:00Z While angioplasty was originally used to treat only less extensive heart disease, technical advances over the years have allowed doctors to increasingly use the procedure for more severe cases. Heart stenting on the rise in Canada 2010-12-01T22:31:00Z More than a million angioplasties are done in the United States each year, most involving stents. 2010-02-12T14:50:00Z What's also concerning is that the tendency to recommend angioplasty was "more accentuated" at hospitals with angioplasty capabilities, the authors note. 2010-01-12T19:33:00Z Is angioplasty of the jugular veins a potential new treatment ? 2010-02-11T12:06:00Z Hannan and his colleagues say they were intrigued by the frequency with which angioplasty was recommended even though the guidelines suggested surgery. 2010-01-12T19:33:00Z |
