Bypass surgery is performed on a patient with blockage of the heart muscle as well as during stenting when a severe condition causes chest pain.
The Top Clinic performs the following types of heart bypass surgery:
Diagnostic Bypass
A method for checking and detecting artery blockages. It is performed under local anesthesia, a catheter is inserted through the vessels in the arm or thigh to the aorta, and the bypass is filled with a contrast agent that illuminates the artery cavity. This procedure is painless and lasts 15 minutes.
Preventive Bypass. Angioplasty
Currently, there are: laser angioplasty, angioplasty by "drilling", as well as angioplasty by incision of the sclerotic covering, balloon angioplasty using a stent.
The most common today is balloon angioplasty. The method involves inserting a metal tube into the vessel, through which a balloon is conducted that inflates upon reaching the end of the catheter, thereby pressing the sclerotic covering into the walls of the artery.
