Nursing cooperation of intravascular imaging combined with shockwave balloon intravascular lithotripsy in the treatment of coronary artery calcification
Objective To summarize the nursing cooperation points of intravascular imaging combined with shockwave balloon intravascular lithotripsy in the treatment of coronary artery calcification.Methods A retrospective analysis was made on 6 patients with severe coronary artery calcification(7 vascular lesions)treated by shockwave balloon intravascular lithotripsy in Fuwai Central China Cardiovascular Hospital from June 2022 to October 2022,including 4 males and 2 females,aged(60.0±6.2)years.The process of interventional treatment and doctor-nurse cooperation were retrospectively analyzed.Results The 6 patients underwent the interventional operation smoothly,the endovascular stent was fully expanded and adhered well to the arterial wall,without flow restricted,with grade 3 TIMI blood flow.None of the 6 patients had serious complications,and all of them were discharged from hospital after surgery.The length of hospital stay was 5-7 days.Conclusions The combination of intravascular imaging and shockwave balloon intravascular lithotripsy can accurately evaluate and effectively deal with calcification lesions.The nursing staff should skillfully master the basic principles of intravascular imaging and shockwave balloon intravascular lithotripsy and the key points of operation cooperation,make full preoperative preparations,closely observe the changes of patients'vital signs during the operation,and take timely and effective nursing measures for possible complications,which is an important guarantee for successful operation.
