Open heart catheterization

Open heart catheterization

Balloon angioplasty, with or without stenting. This procedure is used toopen a narrowed artery in or near yourheart. The catheter can be inserted in either your wrist or groin for this procedure. A long, flexible catheter will be threaded through your arteries to the narrowed artery.

Um...this isn't exactly a balloon angioplasty...looks like a trauma patient with the balloons of a foley catheter plugging wholes in the heart until they hopefully could transport to the OR and go on bypass. Note stream of blood from the catheter that is being held...this was probably done in the ER (note no time for monitors and an unsuccessful attempt at a central line in the.neck)as a desperate attempt to save his life😞😷
