Vascular surgeons at the Israeli Top Ichilov clinic are professionals who master innovative and safe methods and techniques for performing heart and vascular surgeries, including for the treatment of myocardial infarction, its consequences, and the causes that led to its development.
Among the innovative methods used by cardiothoracic surgeons at Top Ichilov to relieve patients from myocardial infarction are coronary artery bypass grafting, percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty with stenting, and carotid endarterectomy. Thanks to these progressive techniques and advanced technologies, Israeli cardiologists have managed to minimize the number of repeat visits by patients regarding myocardial infarction.
Treatment of Myocardial Infarction in Israel – Innovations and Traditions
- Medication treatment of myocardial infarction in Israel aims to alleviate (eliminate) pain syndrome, improve blood circulation and its thinning, lower blood pressure, dissolve clots, etc. The medications used undergo strict checks by regulatory authorities, making them completely safe, highly effective, and without side effects.
- Coronary artery bypass grafting is an effective way to restore blood flow in case of vessel blockage. To allow blood to circulate freely, the surgeon creates a bypass for its flow. This involves using grafts made from synthetic, safe, and hypoallergenic materials or sections of the patient's own vessels (usually taken from the vessels of the lower extremities or wrist). At Top Ichilov, bypass surgery is performed using a minimally invasive method – without opening the chest, through several punctures between the ribs. Such surgery lasts up to 4 hours and does not require long hospitalization of the patient.
- Percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty with stenting is performed to widen the artery lumen and prevent its narrowing in the future. First, the surgeon implants a balloon, which is guided through the vessel to the area of narrowing and inflated with liquefied gas. As it expands, the balloon widens the vessel and flattens cholesterol plaques. Next, a stent is placed at the balloon site, which will remain in the vessel for many years, preventing the walls from sticking together. After the stent is placed, the balloon is deflated and removed from the artery. The entire procedure is performed under angiographic control with the introduction of a contrast agent under local anesthesia and lasts no more than 2 hours.
- Carotid endarterectomy is a minimally invasive surgical intervention aimed at normalizing blood circulation by removing an atherosclerotic (cholesterol) plaque along with part of the inner surface of the carotid artery. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia through an incision in the neck and lasts 1-2 hours.
- Rehabilitation after myocardial infarction in Israel is not always mandatory after surgical intervention on coronary vessels. However, if it is prescribed, the rehabilitation program includes therapeutic physical exercise, which helps maintain physical activity, dietary adjustments to reduce salt intake and weight loss, and lifestyle changes (reducing psychological stress, quitting harmful habits, etc.).

Day Two. You undergo all examinations in 1 day
- Laboratory tests (blood and urine).
- Coronary angiography.
- Echo and electrocardiographic studies.
- X-ray of the chest organs.
- Multi-slice CT with contrast.
- Scintigraphy – radioisotope scanning of the myocardium.
Day Three. A panel of doctors develops a therapy program for you
After receiving the test results, a panel of doctors from various specialties determines which type of intervention for treating myocardial infarction will be most effective in each specific case.
