MEDICAL ANIMATION TRANSCRIPT: El procedimiento de angioplastia coronaria también se conoce como intervención coronaria percutánea. El procedimiento se realiza en unos vasos sanguíneos llamados arterias coronarias. Suministran oxígeno al músculo cardíaco. El objetivo es restablecer el flujo sanguíneo si una sustancia llamada placa ha estrechado significativamente estos vasos. Se puede colocar un tubo de malla de alambre, llamado stent, en la zona tratada. El stent ayuda a mantener la arteria coronaria abierta. Su médico elige el stent del tamaño adecuado que se comprime sobre un globo. El stent se desplaza hasta la arteria sobre la misma guía. Cuando el globo se infla, el stent se expande y se fija en su lugar. Después de retirar el catéter con el globo, el stent permanece en su lugar para mantener la arteria abierta.
