The Mynx vascular closure device is an extravascular vascular closure device (VCD) whose deployment system is designed to minimize the discomfort commonly associated with closing the small hole in the artery following catheterization procedure.
Due to rapid ambulation post procedure the radial interventions became particularly attractive for patients with back pain, chronic obstructive lung disease, prostatic hypertrophy and elderly patients. [12] As after catheterization through femoral approach patient is generally required to lay flat with immobilization of the leg for 4– 6 hours.
After the balloon inflation/deflation or the deposition of the stent, the placement device/deflated balloon are removed leaving the stent in place. [21] [22] The interventional cardiologist decides how to treat the blockage in the best way during the PCI/stent placement, based on real-time data.
Diagram of stent placement. In A, the catheter is inserted across the lesion. In B, the balloon is inflated, expanding the stent and compressing the plaque. In C, the catheter and deflated balloon have been removed. Before-and-after cross sections of the artery show the results of the stent placement. Arterial Stenting 3D Medical Animation
Problems can occur when having a cardiac catheterization done. In my own personal case, I had it inserted in the groin area. Within 12 hours, my entire penis and testicles had turned purple and I had internal bleeding about two inches above 5 inches to the side of the insertion hole. 4 days later I can still hardly walk due to the blood build up in my groin area, it also hurts (badly) to sit ...
Additionally, several other devices can be advanced into the artery via a guiding catheter. These include laser catheters, stent catheters, IVUS catheters, Doppler catheter, pressure or temperature measurement catheter and various clot and grinding or removal devices. Most of these devices have turned out to be niche devices, only useful in a ...
