ENDOVASCULAR INTERVENTION

Endovascular Intervention used by heart specialists is an innovative surgery used to treat issues affecting the blood vessels. This minimal treatment requires an incision near the hip to reach the vessels. This treatment process is less invasive and is being adopted – promising a lower risk, unlike during open surgery. It is an advanced process being adopted by heart doctors in Kolkata to save patients with multiple comorbidities.

These advancements in endovascular treatment are a thing of the last decade. It’s mainly used to treat peripheral vascular disease. The first and the foremost step for starting with the treatment includes some physiological tests and arterial imaging. This helps in localising the disease and planning the treatment process better.

Most of the top cardiologists in Kolkata are opting for Endovascular Intervention as a safer alternative to open surgery, and there are many reasons for the same.

Treatment

Finding a CHIP Intervention doctor in Kolkata has become easy due to the advancement of medical practices in the city. They use Endovascular Intervention for treating arterial issues. A small incision made near the hip reaches the blood vessels in this process. A special fabric tube device with stainless steel stents that expand on its own is used as an endovascular graft.

The insertion of the graft is done through the arteries in the catheter. A narrow tube is positioned near the aorta. The graft is self-expanding, so when in place, it expands to seal off an aneurysm to prevent blood loss. The graft permanently stays in the aorta. This method has become quite popular among heart specialists in Kolkata.

Advantages of Endovascular Intervention

The heart doctors in Kolkata are opting for Endovascular Intervention because it is safer than open-heart surgery. It has a shorter recovery period, is less uncomfortable, and poses fewer risks than open-heart surgery. The smaller incisions and regional anaesthesia make it less risky for patients with other comorbidities. This treatment process is a boon in disguise for patients who require surgery but have too many complications in the body to undergo open surgery.

However, it is essential to meet the doctor to discuss physical conditions with the doctors and go through tests like ECG and special X-rays. This helps the doctors go deeper into the crux of the issue and cure the problem.
