Cardiology treatment abroad

High-tech methods of cardiology and cardiac surgery

Considering the world statistics and the fact that young people of working age are increasingly suffering from cardiovascular diseases, the question arises not so much about treatment as about preventive treatment of cardiovascular diseases. And now, minimally invasive technologies are widely used in cardiac surgery in world practice. This approach has been very effective. Patients recover quickly, there are practically no complications.

The modern pace of life contributes to the growth of cardiovascular pathology everywhere and mortality from heart and vascular diseases over the past few years exceeds mortality from even malignant diseases in many countries. This is especially true of post-Soviet countries. For example, in Ukraine, mortality from cardiovascular pathology is approximately 60 - 65% in the structure of total mortality, and at the same time, coronary grafting with stenting is performed for approximately 1 - 2 patients out of 100 who need this operation. On the other hand, in more developed countries every third patient gets this operation.
The number of specialized cardiological centers in Ukraine is dramatically less than in Europe, and the number of high-tech interventions performed on the heart and large vessels is 15 - 20 times less. But this is precisely what helps to prevent or eliminate serious complications and thereby not only save the patient but also return him to a full life.
But progressive global treatment methods are already used in many countries and are able to correct this situation. And their successful use is just demonstrated by world statistics - in developed countries of Western Europe and America, mortality from cardiovascular disease does not exceed 30%.

An example of a modern specialized cardiology center is the Quirónsalud Clinic in Spain.

This network of clinics combines the best world experts and the latest advanced technologies in cardiac surgery. Find out more about the clinic at Polymedex Consulting Doctors.
High-tech modern (mostly minimally invasive) methods of treating cardiovascular diseases in clinics in Spain allow:

• quickly return the patient to a full life;
• reliably stabilize blood circulation;
• increase exercise tolerance;
• minimize the use of pharmacological drugs.
•  

At the Quirónsalud Clinics:

• edovascular interventions (this is a daily practice). Intravascular minimally invasive interventions are the introduction of a catheter into the peripheral vessel (usually the femoral artery) under the control of an x-ray with a contrast medium;
• heart surgery to replace the valve without stopping it and no wide access;
• balloon angioplasty and stenting of the coronary arteries (endovascular method), the introduction of stent grafts into the aorta (in the presence of aneurysm);
• prostheses the aortic valve using the TAVI method (endovascular method). Due to the low-invasiveness of such an operation and the skill of surgeons, such an intervention became possible even in seriously ill patients older than 70 years with absolute contraindications to open surgery;
• establish the latest stents with a special coating that minimizes repeated stenosis, as well as biodegradable stents that decompose into inert organic components after a certain time, while maintaining all the achieved treatment effects;
• implantation of various types of pacemakers (pacemakers), with the intracardial endovascular method.
• radiofrequency ablation is the latest method of minimally invasive treatment of arrhythmias, especially atrial fibrillation and supraventricular tachycardia. It is carried out by the endovascular method (first, the focus of pathological excitation is determined by the electrophysiological method, and then an electrode with a high-frequency current is passed through the catheter, which destroys the focus of pathological impulses and the arrhythmia is cured).
• aorto-coronary artery bypass grafting is performed without cardiac arrest and wide opening of the chest. Moreover, the operation is much less traumatic, the possibility of postoperative complications is sharply reduced.
• shock-wave therapy and external synchronized counterpulsation are the latest non-invasive methods, the so-called formation of new vessels in the damaged myocardium.
• replaced the valve on the heart in severe patients using the latest technology.
