This newer and extremely safe option is an almost complete solution to diagnosing heart problems. There is no radiation exposure and apart from visualizing the arteries, it is able to study the heart in motion. In addition, it is able to view the heart muscles in detail to allow us to detect scar tissues and other subtle abnormalities.

New, safe and effective technique for treatment of coronary artery disease – first published results in the world:

Using a new angioplasty and stenting technique, our doctors are able to open blocked heart arteries, including complex and difficult blockage, through a small 2 mm skin opening. This new technique delivers excellent results.

The procedure uses the latest imaging technology, enabling our doctors to study the nature and extent of the blocked arteries in great detail before the procedure. The procedure is done under local anaesthesia and fasting is not required. On average, the patient only needs to stay in the hospital for one night.

This new angioplasty and stenting technique is safe and effective. It is even suitable for patients with complex and severe disease of the heart arteries. Our doctors are the first to publish the results of this new technique in a major scientific medical journal.
