1. What factor is most significant in a successful angioplasty procedure?
2. A significant factor is lifestyle.
3. Diet- depending on what you eat and where you eat, determines how your body digest and absorbs everything from it and some things are full of cholesterol. Exercise: exercise keeps the blood flowing at a stable rate and helps break down fatty material. Smoking: smoking is harmful to the entire body. As one breathes in the smoke blood that needs to be oxygenated gets contaminated with harmful tobacco substances. These substances eventually lead to atherosclerosis.
4. My main source for this information would have to be my mentor, Oralia Aragon, NP, as well as many of the pamphlets she's handed me regarding how one must treat their body after a angioplasty or stent procedure.
5. In conclusion, the way you live your life really affects the success of the angioplasty because if the occluded artery is fixed, it doesn't mean much it it gets re-clogged because you continue your bad habits.
