<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is a minimally invasive procedure that restores blood flow in narrowed coronary arteries. In Germany, PTCA is performed using the latest equipment and innovative stents, which ensures high efficiency and minimal risk of complications.

- Performed without open surgery<\/span><\/li>\n
- Allows you to quickly return to normal life<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Procedure steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Catheterization – insertion of a thin tube through an artery (usually in the groin or arm)<\/span><\/li>\n
- Angiography – contrast study of blood vessels<\/span><\/li>\n
- Balloon angioplasty – widening the narrowed area<\/span><\/li>\n
- Stenting (if necessary) – installation of a metal frame<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
Indications<\/h3><\/div>\n- Acute myocardial infarction (for emergency restoration of blood flow)<\/span><\/li>\n
- Stable coronary heart disease with severe symptoms<\/span><\/li>\n
- Progressive angina<\/span><\/li>\n
- Restenosis after previous interventions<\/span><\/li>\n
- Positive stress test results<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>

2. Modern PTCA technologies<\/strong><\/h4>\nAvailable in Germany:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Drug-eluting stents (reduce the risk of restenosis)<\/span><\/li>\n
