About the service
The K+31 medical centers perform the procedure of vascular stenting. Using a modern endovascular method, a vascular surgeon restores the patency of narrowed or plaque-clogged areas. During the operation, a metal frame is installed. The choice of stent by material, opening method, diameter depends on the person's condition.
The X-ray endovascular stenting method is considered the most effective method of therapy for coronary heart disease. Minimally invasive intervention helps prevent ischemic stroke in atherosclerosis and stenosis. The operation is performed without cutting the chest. The surgeon only needs to make a puncture (puncture) and install a special catheter.
Types of stents
A stent is a wire tube that serves as a frame and helps maintain the lumen of an artery. The following types of stents are currently used in vascular surgery:
- Bare metal stent
- Drug-eluting stent, which prevents closure and re-narrowing of the vessel lumen
- A stent made of a soluble material that completely dissolves in 6-9 months
The first two types of stents can interfere with the natural movement of the artery. During coronary artery bypass grafting, the metal frame in the vessel interferes. Therefore, after stenting, the patient is prescribed medication to prevent clot formation.
General information
Indications for Stenting
Stent placement at the lesion site is recommended for the following diseases and conditions:
- Coronary heart disease
- Atherosclerosis
- Angina
- Increased risk of heart failure
- Stenosis
- Tumors of internal organs that obstruct blood flow or the passage of food
- Injuries to large vessels and digestive organs
Most often, the intervention is performed on the cardiovascular system. Additionally, indications for stenting may include conditions affecting the following body parts:
- Gallbladder (biliary tract) and liver
- Intestines and stomach
- Esophagus
With proper preparation and surgery, patients recover quickly and return to normal life, significantly reducing the risk of complications. The procedure is widely used in many areas of medicine to effectively treat complex conditions.
Benefits of stenting
- Efficiency. Pain immediately disappears after stent placement. The metal frame remains in place, preventing the vessels from narrowing again and maintaining normal blood flow.
- Safety. Small punctures reduce the risk of bleeding, shorten the recovery period, and prevent post-surgical complications.
- Fast recovery. After stenting, the patient remains in the hospital under specialist observation for no more than 5 days.
- The surgery reduces the risk of recurrent myocardial infarction and significantly improves quality of life.
Today, stenting is becoming one of the main treatments for vascular and heart diseases. This method is virtually painless and requires minimal surgical intervention.
Instead of open surgery, thin catheters are used—this approach is called minimally invasive and reduces the risk of complications. A second important advantage is rapid recovery. Furthermore, the procedure is highly safe—the operation is carried out under the supervision of the center's experienced specialists.
