Interventional Cardiologist specializing coronary artery treatment. Tailored approach care with modern technology
IVL or Intravascular Lithotripsy is a technology for treating coronary artery stenosis with thick and deep calcification by using sound waves through a catheter to break the calcification without damaging the surrounding tissue. It helps to improve the efficiency of stent placement, reduce the risk of re-occlusion, and allows for quick recovery.
Coronary artery disease is caused by the accumulation of fatty deposits, fibrous tissue, and calcium in the arterial walls, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the heart. If left untreated, it may lead to an increased risk of acute heart attack.
The longer you smoke, the more you risk diseases and illnesses that shorten life. It also affects those around you, even if they do not smoke themselves. The harmful effects of cigarette smoke can be just as dangerous as smoking first-hand, especially for pregnant women, infants, and children, who should avoid being close to smokers or environments with cigarette smoke.
