PTCA : Percutaneous Transluminal “Credit” Angioplasty
This article does not in any way defame any hospital that offers the scheme.It just want to debate the concept.
Hospitals want to market the procedure . Convert angiograms to angioplasties . That’s corporate boardroom mantra . And one fine day , bankers and medical doctor sat together and brought a brilliant idea.
Why not do the procedure on credit and push the patient life long into a financial debt !
Wonderful idea . . . many thought .Thus came the financing scheme for cardiac procedures.
Final message
Financing a poor patient with good intention is welcome. But, there is big caveat ....

Basic instincts in cath lab : It is too tempting to poke the non IRA . . . What shall I do ?
Doing multivessel PCI during acute STEMI is forbidden except in cardiogenic shock . (or in some very unstable patients without cardiogenic shock)
The reason
During acute MI hemodynamics are precariously balanced.We do not know yet how emergency multivessel plasty alters this .
Our initial aim should be confined to myocardial salvage in the IRA . Total myocardial revascularization is niether the priority nor its desirable.
The more time you spend within the inflamed coronary artery , more its hazardous.
Multiple stenting is prone for thrombus and migration into side branch .

I have led projects attempting to use the AUC to extract data from electronic health records for quality improvement purposes, been witness to efforts to use the AUC in place of radiology benefits managers, and participated in numerous conversations related to the terms used to describe the categories and even the techniques employed to organize the classification for each scenario discussed.
I have learned a tremendous amount… but mostly I&...

Why don’t we have pre-formed RCA catheter ?
Interventional cardiology has grown leaps and bound in the last few decades .We are able to clip the wings of mitral valve without surgery when it prolapses
We can deliver a huge aortic valve and fix it with wires .
But . . . we have no proper preformed guiding catheter that can sit into RCA ostium directly and snugly for a long time to enable complex RCA angioplasties !
