CARDIAC STENTING AT THE RCMC

Cardiac stenting is performed using small tubes with multiple cells of complex configuration made of cobalt alloys.

The operation is performed under local anesthesia accompanied by complete radiological control.

A stent is placed in the artery with the help of a special balloon; when the balloon is inflated, the stent is pressed tightly into the arterial wall, thus increasing the lumen of the narrowed vessel. Then the balloon is deflated and removed, and the stent remains in place permanently, being a mechanical obstacle to narrowing of the arterial lumen eliminating the symptoms of coronary heart disease.
