Coronary Angioplasty (Mr DD)

Mr DD was experiencing gripping chest pain on exertion. This thought to be secondary to coronary artery disease (inadequate blood supply to the heart). He had a coronary angiogram that revealed narrowing in blood vessels supplying the heart. It demonstrated severe narrowing of the left circumflex and right coronary artery He went on to have these treated by percutaneous (through the blood vessel in the right arm) coronary angioplasty. Both coronary arteries were treated at the same time. - The right coronary artery was treated by initially relieving the narrowing with balloons followed by deployment of two drug eluting stents (2.75mm and 3.0mm diameter) that overlapped. The stents were optimised using balloons with intravascular ultrasound guidance. - The left circumflex artery was treated by initially relieving the narrowing with balloons followed by deployment of two drug eluting stents (2.75mm and 3.0mm diameter) that overlapped. The stents were optimised using balloons.

So what procedure did you have today sir? Angiostensis So could you tell us about your experience of this procedure? Yeah, I felt it was quite easy I felt I'd be a little bit patient It took a wee while longer than what I thought it would be And I was very satisfied with everything that was done And is there anything that you would tell a prospective patient who's about to undergo the procedure? or any advice or anything you'd like? I would just say there is nothing to worry about and to be patient and take it easy. And finally, was there anything that you experienced during the procedure that was unexpected? It was the warmth around my groin when they were putting the, whatever it is they inject through you. The dieter, is that right? and dying, yeah. I'm on my own a few words, there's nothing much I could say, just that I was quite surprised and happy with what was done. Thank you, thank you very much.

How often should I have Foot Checks done if I have Diabetes?

Dr Mushtaqur Rahman, Consultant Endocrinologist and Diabetologist talks about how often you should have foot checks done as a person with Diabetes. He stresses that having numbness or nerve damage in the feet is a very important to tell your healthcare providers. He explains that if you have any risk factors picked up by the yearly checks then you should be looked after by Podiatrists and potentially have more frequent foot checks done.
