Interventional cardiology is a rapidly developing branch of medicine in the treatment of cardiovascular pathology.
Interventional cardiology includes minimally invasive interventional methods for diagnosing and treating patients with coronary heart disease and acquired cardiovascular disease.
The main areas of interventional cardiology are coronary angiography, stenting and balloon angioplasty of coronary arteries.
Integra Medical offers a complete portfolio of products for interventional cardiology, including:
Coronary angiography is a diagnostic method of X-ray examination of coronary artery lesions of the heart. To perform coronary angiography, we are ready to offer specialists: introducer (radial and femoral), hydrophilic angiographic catheter, diagnostic guidewire (Teflon and hydrophilic).
Balloon angioplasty is a minimally invasive intravascular surgery that allows restoring vascular patency. Coronary angioplasty is performed with a balloon angioplasty catheter. Our portfolio includes balloon catheters with a wide range of sizes of balloons for predilation Conqueror, postdilation Conqueror NC.
In addition, balloons with Elutax therapeutic coating allow avoiding stenting in a number of clinical cases.
Coronary artery stenting is a minimally traumatic manipulation of the heart vessels that allows to eliminate atherosclerotic narrowing and stenosis without an incision. The origin of the name of this manipulation is associated with the use of a stent. A stent is a special frame that is placed in the lumen of the coronary vessel and provides expansion of the narrowed area.
Since 2023, we have been introducing the Inspiron coronary stent with sirolimus coating, which has been proven effective in fighting heart attacks in randomized trials, into clinical practice in Ukraine. An interventional cardiologist uses a guiding catheter to allow the stent to be inserted into the stenosis site.
