A central line is like an intravenous (IV) line that goes all the way up to a vein near the heart or just inside
the heart, that is used to give treatment or to draw blood from a patient.
It includes 3 types:

 implanted ports
 tunneled central lines (also called external central lines)
 PICC (peripherally inserted central catheter) lines

hyperparathyroidism:

 Hyperparathyroidism is a condition in which one or more of your parathyroid glands become

overactive and release (secrete) too much parathyroid hormone (PTH).

Angioplasty:

 Angioplasty is a procedure used to open blocked coronary arteries caused by coronary artery
disease.
 The procedure is done by inserting a long, thin tube into a blood vessel and guided to the blocked
coronary artery. The catheter has a tiny balloon at its tip. Once the catheter is in place, the balloon
is inflated at the narrowed area of the heart artery. This presses the plaque or blood clot against
the sides of the artery, making more room for blood flow.
