A hole in the heart — like a PFO or ASD — can let a clot travel from the right side of the heart to the left, bypassing the lungs. The clot can then reach the brain and block blood flow, causing a stroke (a paradoxical embolism).

Doctors find it with an echocardiogram, sometimes using a bubble test to see if blood crosses between the heart’s chambers.

Prevention can include blood thinners, closing the hole with a catheter procedure, and managing clot risks like staying active and avoiding dehydration

Atherectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove atherosclerotic plaque (fatty deposits) from the inside of an artery.

✅ Purpose:

Atherectomy is often performed to restore blood flow in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) or coronary artery disease (CAD) when arteries become narrowed or blocked due to plaque buildup.

⸻

🔧 How It Works:
• A catheter with a specialized cutting or grinding device is inserted into the artery.
• The device shaves, cuts, or vaporizes the plaque from the arterial wall.
• The removed material is either collected in the catheter or flushed out of the body.

⸻

🛠️ Types of Atherectomy Devices:
1. Directional Atherectomy – cuts plaque in one direction.
2. Rotational Atherectomy – spins a diamond-tipped burr to grind plaque.
3. Orbital Atherectomy – spins eccentrically to sand down the plaque.
4. Laser Atherectomy – uses laser energy to vaporize the plaque.

⸻

🩺 Common Uses:
• Peripheral arteries (legs)
• Coronary arteries (heart)
• Sometimes used before or along with angioplasty or stenting

⸻

⚠️ Risks:
• Artery damage
• Blood clots
• Re-narrowing of the artery (restenosis)
• Embolization (plaque breaking off and traveling downstream)

Our amazing heart and circulatory system work together to move blood throughout the body:
• The heart pumps blood in two loops:
• Pulmonary circulation: Sends deoxygenated blood to the lungs to get oxygen.
• Systemic circulation: Sends oxygen-rich blood to the body.
• Arteries carry blood away from the heart, veins bring it back, and capillaries exchange oxygen, nutrients, and waste.

This cycle repeats constantly to keep the body’s cells healthy
