Stenting: Restoring Blood Flow with a Supportive Scaffold
At Subang Jaya Medical Centre's Heart, Vascular, and Thoracic Department, we offer advanced treatments to address arterial disease and improve blood flow to blocked or narrowed arteries. One of the key procedures we specialise in is Stenting, a minimally invasive technique that involves the placement of a stent to open and support the affected artery.
Stenting is a procedure that involves the insertion of a small, mesh-like tube called a stent into the blocked or narrowed artery. The stent acts as a scaffold, supporting and keeping the artery walls open. This allows for improved blood flow and reduces the risk of complications associated with arterial disease.
The key aspects of Stenting include:
1. Restoring Blood Flow: Stenting helps restore blood flow to the affected artery by expanding the narrowed or blocked segment. The stent helps maintain the artery's patency and improves circulation by providing structural support.
2. Minimally Invasive: Stenting is a minimally invasive procedure typically performed using local anaesthesia. It involves a small incision and has a shorter recovery time than traditional open surgery.
3. Customised Treatment: Our experienced vascular specialists carefully select the appropriate type and size of the stent based on the location and severity of the arterial blockage. The procedure is tailored to each patient's unique needs and condition.
At SJMC, we utilise state-of-the-art technology and follow best practices to ensure optimal outcomes for our patients undergoing Stenting procedures. Our experienced vascular specialists collaborate with our multidisciplinary team to provide comprehensive care and personalised treatment plans.
