Wind Up Like the Wreck You Hide

———

Eddie runs into the emergency room and directly into Steve’s arms. He can’t catch his breath, having hyperventilated the whole drive back to Hawkins and sprinted from the parking lot, but he’s able to gasp out, “Wayne-?”

“He’s okay,” Steve reassures him, rubbing his hands up and down Eddie’s arms. “He’s gonna be okay, they’re just gonna keep him overnight for observation.”

“He’s okay?” Eddie parrots. What does that mean? The words haven’t sunk in yet. Eddie was in Indianapolis getting ready for tonight’s show when Steve had called him from this very waiting room to explain that Wayne had a heart attack and Eddie needed to get to the hospital as soon as possible. Two hours later, he’s just… okay?

Steve shifts his grip to Eddie’s shoulders. “He’s okay. We got here fast and they took great care of him. He’s asleep upstairs right now.”

Eddie feels faint with the relief that sweeps through him. Though, as his knees go weak and he stumbles into Steve, it occurs to him that it’s probably just his adrenaline crashing.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa!” Steve catches him under his arms and drags him upright again. “Let’s go sit down while I catch you up.”

Eddie doesn’t know what he needs to know other than ‘Wayne had a heart attack and it didn’t kill him,’ but he lets Steve steer him toward a bank of plastic chairs in the corner. He falls into a seat like a puppet whose strings have been cut.

Steve, angel that he is, pulls a notebook out of his pocket and begins telling Eddie what Wayne’s doctors had said. He had carefully written down phrases that he knew he wouldn’t remember once Eddie got there. Atherosclerosis. Nitroglycerin. Percutaneous coronary intervention. Angioplasty with stent. All the information Eddie would need about his uncle’s care, noted and defined in Steve’s neat handwriting. There are some items with question marks beside them, things that they might need to ask the doctors about.

Eddie’s eyes begin to water. Steve didn’t just do this for him, he did it out of love and concern for Wayne. He spent two hours gathering information and taking notes so he could understand what happened and figure out how to help. The notes on aspirin, the crude diagram of a blocked artery, the bullet point at the bottom of the page that says ‘diet?? medication??’ are all so Steve can take better care of Wayne.

Steve grips Eddie’s hand when he hears his sharp intake of breath. “I know it’s a lot to take in, but it’ll make more sense once we go upstairs and talk to Wayne’s doctor.” His tone is low and soothing.

“Thanks. I’m glad you were here to look out for him.”

“Yeah, of course.” He looks a little embarrassed by Eddie’s gratitude, like it’s a given that anyone would do the same thing. “He’s important to you, so he’s important to me. But he’s also a good man. A good dad,” he adds tentatively.

Eddie barks out a laugh. “You should call him that to his face, he would love it. Finally, a son who will watch sports with him and properly sort the laundry!”

“I don’t expect you to get it since ninety-nine percent of your wardrobe is black, but separating whites and colors really makes a difference!” Steve argues, blushing at Eddie’s teasing.

Eddie squeezes his hand. “Seriously, Wayne loves you. He calls you his son-in-law when he talks about you with his poker buddies. He brags about how all the kids at school love you and you’re the best second grade teacher in the state. Hell, I think he spends more time with you than he does with me.”

“He really does all that?” Steve asks quietly, like a wish that won’t come true if you say it out loud. When Eddie nods, Steve frowns, his lower lip quivering slightly, and looks down at the scuffed linoleum floor. “I didn’t know.”

Oh, shit. Eddie didn’t even think to ask how Steve was doing through all of this. He had called 911 and ridden in the ambulance with Wayne, had almost certainly paced around the nurses’ station waiting for news. Then, instead of going with Wayne, he stayed downstairs until Eddie got there so he could update him about Wayne’s condition as soon as humanly possible.

It was just like Steve to focus on taking care of everyone else, so natural that Eddie didn’t even think twice about accepting Steve’s comfort while offering nothing in return. And now that the immediate crisis is over, now that Steve has had a chance to breathe and start processing, Eddie thinks Steve might be on the verge of a meltdown.

Wordlessly, Eddie loops an arm under one of Steve’s and tugs him to his feet, herding him in the direction of the single-stall bathroom around the corner. By the time they’re inside, Steve’s whole body is shaking; by the time Eddie flips the lock on the door, fat tears are rolling down his cheeks.

“Sorry, I don’t know why…” Steve gestures at his face a little helplessly.

Eddie still doesn’t say anything, just pulls Steve into a tight embrace. His shirt grows damp where Steve has buried his face in his shoulder, and he feels Steve’s back shudder as he tries to stifle his sobs.

“I was really scared,” he confesses between gasps. “I just kept thinking how horrible it would be if I had to tell you—“

“It’s okay, baby,” Eddie murmurs into his hair. “You did great, he’s okay.”

Steve sniffles loudly. “I know, I’m just being stupid.”

“It’s not stupid.” It comes out more forcefully than Eddie had planned. He hates when Steve does that, puts himself down and invalidates his feelings. “That was a medical emergency. Just because it turned out fine doesn’t mean it wasn’t stressful.”

“I guess.” Steve pulls away long enough to grab a paper towel so he can mop up his face. He goes easily when Eddie guides him into another hug.

Swaying them both gently, he tells Steve, “You know, you don’t always have to put on a brave face. Let me take care of you once in a while.”

“I know,” Steve croaks. “I’m working on it.”

They stand there for another minute, both drawing strength from the other’s presence, before Steve clears his throat and releases Eddie. “I think I’m good. We should go upstairs now, Wayne’ll want to see you.”

“He’ll want to see you, too,” Eddie reminds him.

Steve’s smile is small but radiant. “Okay, let’s go.”

If I Let Myself Love You - Chs 30 & 31 now posted:

The drive to the hospital felt impossibly long, dredging up too many memories of other similar drives, with her mother. Drives where Marinette had leaned into her father as he held her tightly, whispering reassurances that everything would be okay, while she privately didn’t believe a word of it.

Now, her father was not there to support her. But Alya was – tucked into the backseat with her, in the middle seat so she could be closer, her hand never leaving Marinette’s. She didn’t whisper reassurances. Didn’t say a word. Just pressed her hand hard, reminding Marinette that she wasn’t alone.

At the hospital, Mr Cesaire did the talking, getting them admitted and guided to the correct waiting room, where they were forced to sit while her father underwent emergency surgery. A percutaneous coronary intervention, Mr Cesaire tried to explain – to investigate the arteries and locate the blockage, so they could treat it.

Marinette buried her face in her hands, too shocked to cry. It was as if even her tear ducts had been paralysed.

This can’t be happening. It’s too soon. It just can’t be happening!

‘He has to be okay,’ she said through her fingers.

‘I know.’ Alya’s arm was immediately around her shoulders.

Mr Cesaire cleared his throat. ‘I’ll, um…go find us some food and a hot drink. I think…I think we all need it.’

‘Thanks, Dad,’ said Alya. Then he headed away.

Marinette’s head spun with images – with words. Everything about this evening felt unreal. The fight between the Agreste twins was mingling with her worst thoughts about her father – and she felt that door creaking open in her mind. Whatever was behind it, it demanded to be set free.

‘I didn’t even hug him when I said goodbye today,’ she whispered.

Alya squeezed her shoulders ‘It wasn’t really goodbye. People have heart attacks all the time. They have this kind of surgery all the time. It’s basically routine.’

Her friend was trying to provide comfort – but she’d just inspired fresh horror.

Routine surgery.

Her shoulders started shaking as she recalled what Felix had once said – that his mother wasn’t ill. Neither was her father. Could Emilie Agreste have died of the same kind of surgery?

‘Adrien’s mother…,’ she began – but she couldn’t bring herself to finish that sentence.

‘That’s not going to happen to your dad. I’m wearing the magic dress, remember? And it’s my birthday. No one is going to die on my birthday.’

Coronary Angioplasty or Heart Stent Treatment in India

Heart Angioplasty or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) means opening a blocked or narrowed coronary artery in the heart by using a balloon. Most modern coronary angioplasties are carried out by inserting a short wire mesh tube, called a stent, into the artery during the procedure. The stent is left in place permanently to allow blood to flow more freely. When stents are put in blocked or narrowed coronary arteries of the heart along with coronary angioplasty, it is called percutaneous coronary intervention. Both are done by an expert intervention cardiologist at the cath. Lab. In a hospital. At CMCS Health, we are associated with the World’s best intervention cardiologist at top heart hospitals for cost-effective Heart Angioplasty or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA).

Steps involved in PTCA or Coronary Angioplasty (Heart Stent)

A percutaneous Coronary Angioplasty is a minimally invasive heart coronary intervention performed by an experienced intervention cardiologist and involves the following steps:

A small flexible sheath is inserted through a puncture in the groin region or near the wrist, after making the insertion side numb by giving local anesthesia.

A tiny tube called a cardiac catheter is passed through the sheath and guided along the artery into the opening of the left or right coronary artery. A contrast dye is injected and dynamic X-rays are taken to view the exact blockage areas in the arteries.

A wire is then passed down the inside of the catheter to beyond the narrowed artery and an attached small balloon is inflated for about 20 to 30 seconds to open up the blocked artery. The process can be repeated several times. This procedure is called percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.

At times intervention cardiologist puts a cardiac stent inside the narrowed or blocked artery to keep it open. The procedure is called percutaneous coronary intervention.

The balloon, wire, catheter, and sheath are then removed and any bleeding is stopped with a dissolvable plug or firm pressure at the puncture site.

The intervention cardiologist may decide to put more than one stent depending on the number of blockages. The patient is discharged from the hospital after 4 to 6 hours of observation post-PTCI.

The different types of Heart stents:

The most common types of heart stent used for percutaneous coronary intervention (heart coronary stenting) are:

Bare metal stent:

The commonly used coronary heart stents are bare metal stents which are made of stainless steel. This type of stent is now used only for minor angioplasties as scar tissue can grow around it and re-block the artery.

Drug-eluting stent:

These are the stents that are coated with a medication that keeps the artery lining free of scar tissue. This stent also reduces the risk of re-blocking of the coronary arteries but may lead to blood clots.

 Bio-Engineered Stent:

This type of stent is not coated with any drug, which speeds up the healing process. This is made possible by the antibody on the surface of the stent, which attracts Endothelial Progenitor Cells (EPCs) that promote natural healing. The advantages of Bio Engineered stents are that they prevent early and late blood clots, and heal the cell lining faster as compared to the DES.

Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold (BVS):

This stent is covered with a drug-eluting coat on a dissolvable scaffold platform that the body absorbs over time. The drug works in the system and prevents restenosis. The scaffold becomes a part of the body, which reduces the chances of re-blockage. But the flip side with this type of stent is that the healing process after this stent is quite slow.

Dual Therapy Stent (DTS):

These stents are so far the best heart stents that offer the same benefits as a DES and the medication on it has an active healing technology. They reduce the chances of inflammation and blood clots, actively promote the healing process, and prevent re-narrowing of the arteries.

Cost of heart stenting or percutaneous coronary transluminal intervention in India:

The cost of PTCA and PTCI depends on the type and make of the stent, nos. of stents, and the overall health of the patient. The cost of PTCA and PTCI is much lower in India as compared to other countries. The latest diagnostic facilities, upgraded and state-of-the-art infrastructure, and unparalleled expertise of Indian intervention cardiologists have made India a first-choice destination for international patients seeking coronary heart stenting (PTCI). The average cost of PTCA and PTCI in India may range from 2000 USD to 4500 USD.

What Happens During Angioplasty? A Simple Guide

Angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure designed to restore blood flow in arteries that have become narrowed or blocked due to plaque buildup, a condition often associated with heart disease. For those diagnosed with coronary artery disease, angioplasty can be a lifesaving treatment. In this guide, we will explain what happens during angioplasty and why it is an important procedure for heart health.

What Is Angioplasty?

Angioplasty, also known as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), is performed to open up narrowed or blocked arteries, ensuring that blood flows freely to the heart. This treatment is commonly recommended for patients who have chest pain (angina) or who are at risk of a heart attack.

This procedure is widely available in many cardiac centers. If you’re considering angioplasty treatment in Pune, consulting with the best cardiologist in Pune will help you understand if it's the right treatment option for you.

Step-by-Step Process of Angioplasty

Preparation for the Procedure Before angioplasty begins, the patient is given a mild sedative to help relax, though they remain awake during the procedure. A local anesthetic is administered to numb the site, usually in the groin, wrist, or arm, where the catheter will be inserted. The cardiologist will then insert a thin, flexible tube called a catheter into the artery.

Inserting the Catheter The cardiologist carefully guides the catheter through the blood vessels to the location of the blockage in the heart's arteries. During this time, imaging technology such as X-rays helps the doctor view the arteries and ensure the catheter reaches the correct spot.

Inflating the Balloon Once the catheter is in place, a small balloon attached to the catheter is inflated at the site of the blockage. The pressure from the balloon pushes the plaque against the walls of the artery, widening it and restoring blood flow. This part of the procedure usually lasts only a few minutes but is crucial in relieving symptoms like chest pain and preventing further complications.

Placing the Stent In many cases, a stent—a small wire mesh tube—is placed in the artery to keep it open long-term. The stent is expanded by the balloon and remains in the artery after the balloon is deflated and removed. Over time, the stent becomes a part of the artery wall, providing lasting support to maintain adequate blood flow.

Monitoring and Recovery After the balloon is deflated and the catheter is removed, the patient is taken to a recovery area for observation. Most patients can go home the same day or the day after the procedure, depending on their overall health and how the procedure went.

Why Angioplasty?

For those dealing with blocked arteries, angioplasty offers significant benefits, including:

Relief from chest pain: Angina is a common symptom of narrowed arteries, and angioplasty can provide immediate relief.

Prevention of heart attacks: By restoring blood flow, angioplasty can reduce the risk of a heart attack.

Quicker recovery: Compared to open-heart surgery, angioplasty is minimally invasive, allowing patients to return to normal activities sooner.

After the Procedure: What to Expect

Most patients experience improved blood flow and reduced symptoms after angioplasty. However, lifestyle changes such as eating a heart-healthy diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking are essential for long-term success.

Patients should also continue follow-up appointments with their cardiologist in Pune to monitor their heart health. Medications may be prescribed to prevent blood clots, lower cholesterol, or control blood pressure.

Conclusion

Angioplasty is a vital procedure that can save lives by restoring proper blood flow to the heart. If you or a loved one is experiencing heart disease symptoms, consulting with the best cardiologist in Pune will help you explore the best treatment options, including angioplasty. This minimally invasive procedure is often a critical step in preventing more severe heart issues, improving quality of life, and ensuring long-term heart health.

Introduction to Transradial Access: Advantages and Clinical Applications

The global transradial access market size was USD 2.00 Billion in 2022 and is expected to register a revenue CAGR of 7.4% during the forecast period. Transradial Access (TRA) is the recommended method for coronary angiography and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) as it has a lower risk of bleeding and vascular problems than Transfemoral Access (TFA), increases patient satisfaction, and lowers patient mortality.

The increasing prevalence of coronary artery diseases and cardiovascular diseases, growing prevalence of obesity, and rising adoption of interventional procedures are some of the key factors driving the market revenue growth. In addition, increasing product launches and initiations by leading companies and rising prevalence of lifestyle diseases are contributing significantly to revenue growth of the market.

However, there are some restraints for revenue growth of the global Transradial Access Market. High cost of Transradial Access and product recalls are restraining the market revenue growth. The expertise required by the technique, the growing trend of a product recall, and the risk of failure are the major challenges to the growth of the market. The lack of healthcare facilities in underdeveloped regions has created an opportunity for key players to enter the untapped market.

The North America market accounted for the largest revenue share than other regional markets in the global transradial access market in 2022. The region has established itself as the market leader with a significant market share. A large number of individuals in the region suffer from obesity and diabetes. Because of the obesity epidemic in the United States, a growing proportion of patients have panniculus, which impedes TFA access. Obesity requires inventive patient placement to expose the femoral crease, mandates interventionalist access to atypically deep femoral arteries, and raises the risk of post-procedure bleeding and access site infection. Given that the wrist has less fat than the femoral artery accessing the radial artery in obese individuals overcomes several difficulties. Increasing healthcare expenditures and rising alcohol and cigarette consumption in the region also contribute to the expansion of the industry.

On the basis of end-use, the global transradial access market is segmented into hospitals and clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, and others. The hospitals and clinics segment accounted for the largest revenue in 2022 owing to the high prevalence of highly qualified healthcare professionals, and staff as well as the high percentage of diagnostics tests performed in hospitals and clinics, which is driving the segment revenue growth. Availability of long-term care facilities, as well as continuous patient monitoring, are two major factors driving revenue growth of this segment. The hospitals segment provides several diagnostics tests such as blood tests, Computed Tomography (CT) scans, capsule endoscopy, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), ultrasound, and other imaging services. As a result, it contributes significantly to revenue growth of this segment.

Post-Bypass Angioplasty In Chennai

Understanding Post-Bypass Angioplasty

Post-bypass angioplasty, also referred to as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), is a medical procedure designed to address blockages or narrowing in the coronary arteries after bypass surgery. During this procedure, a catheter with a balloon at its tip is inserted into the affected artery, where the balloon is inflated to compress the plaque or blockage and restore blood flow. Stenting is commonly employed to keep the artery open, effectively enhancing blood flow to the heart muscle, alleviating symptoms, and reducing the risk of future cardiac complications.

Causes Leading to Post-Bypass Angioplasty

Several factors can necessitate post-bypass angioplasty, including:

Restenosis: This is the most common cause, where the treated artery narrows again over time due to the body’s healing response, often involving the proliferation of smooth muscle cells.

Lifestyle Factors: Unhealthy lifestyle choices such as smoking, a high-fat diet, insufficient physical activity, and chronic stress can contribute to recurrent arterial blockages after angioplasty.

Diabetes: Individuals with diabetes are at a higher risk, as the condition can accelerate atherosclerosis and impair the healing process.

Structured exercise programs and educational support aid recovery and promote heart health.

Psychosocial Support:

Emotional support from family, friends, or mental health professionals can be beneficial.

Cost of Post-Bypass Angioplasty in Chennai

The cost of post-bypass angioplasty in Chennai typically ranges from ₹2 lakh to ₹4 lakh. Factors influencing the cost include:

Type of Stent: Drug-eluting stents tend to be pricier; however, they are effective in lowering the risk of re-blockage when compared to bare-metal stents.

Hospital Amenities: Premium facilities may charge higher fees for procedures and post-operative care.

Health Insurance: Most insurance plans cover a significant portion of angioplasty expenses, helping to alleviate financial concerns.

Patients are encouraged to consult hospitals for detailed package information and insurance coverage options.

Overview of the Procedure

Diagnostic Evaluation: Comprehensive assessments through imaging and tests to identify post-bypass issues.

Angioplasty Technique: A catheter is inserted into the blocked artery, and a balloon is inflated to widen it, with potential stent placement to maintain blood flow.

Guidance Technology: Advanced imaging aids precise navigation during the procedure.

Recovery and Monitoring: Patients are closely monitored post-procedure for recovery and potential complications.

Benefits of Post-Bypass Angioplasty

Post-bypass angioplasty offers several advantages, including:

Improved Blood Flow: The primary goal is to restore blood flow through narrowed or blocked grafts, alleviating symptoms like chest pain and enhancing heart function.

Symptom Relief: Patients can experience significant relief from chest pain and shortness of breath, improving their overall quality of life.

Reduced Risk of Future Heart Events: By enhancing blood flow and minimizing blockages, the procedure can lower the risk of future cardiac events, such as heart attacks or the need for repeat bypass surgery.

Risks Associated with Post-Bypass Angioplasty

Although post-bypass angioplasty is generally safe, potential risks include:

Infection: A rare risk at the catheter insertion site.

Bleeding: Minor bleeding may occur at the insertion site, but severe cases are uncommon.

Allergic Reactions: Some individuals may react to the contrast dye used during the procedure.

Steps Involved in Post-Bypass Angioplasty

Catheter Insertion: A catheter with a balloon is inserted through the groin or wrist and guided to the blocked artery.

Balloon Expansion: The catheter's balloon is inflated to expand the artery, facilitating improved blood flow.

Stent Insertion: A stent is typically positioned to maintain the artery's openness and reduce the risk of future blockages.

Post-Procedure Monitoring: Patients are monitored for complications and given medications to prevent clot formation.

This minimally invasive approach provides a quicker recovery compared to repeat bypass surgery.

Conclusion

Post-bypass angioplasty in Chennai is a crucial step in managing patients who have undergone coronary artery bypass surgery. It requires diligent monitoring and follow-up to ensure the procedure's success and the patient's long-term health. Adhering to prescribed medications and lifestyle changes is vital for maintaining the patency of grafts and preventing complications. Regular check-ups, including imaging studies and stress tests, are essential for evaluating cardiac health. Patient education and support play a significant role in promoting a heart-healthy lifestyle. For more details: https://drkathiresan.com/angioplasty-treatment-in-chennai
