The patient, who has been waiting for a coronary angioplasty, a procedure that uses a balloon to open a narrowed heart artery, to allow for a stent to be fitted in their heart, was able to have the treatment closer to home thanks to the innovation of the cardiology team at University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust (UHP).
Due to the high-risk nature of the procedure, it was necessary to use an artificial heart pump, called an Impella, to ensure the patient’s heart was supported throughout the minimally invasive complex and high risk angioplasty and stent procedure. The whole procedure was done with the patient fully awake and they went on to make a quick and safe recovery.
