Hoan My Dong Nai Hospital will deploy percutaneous coronary angiography

(DN) - On November 10, information from Hoan My Dong Nai Hospital said that the hospital has invested in a digital subtraction angiography (DSA) system to perform percutaneous coronary angiography. This is the gold standard for diagnosing ischemic heart disease as well as coronary artery disease. Thereby, doctors will have timely treatment and handling directions.

Accordingly, the DSA system will give accurate coronary artery disease diagnosis results for patients with high suspicion after clinical examination.

Specialist Doctor 2 Tran Van Thuan, Professional Director of Hoan My Dong Nai Hospital, said that the appraisal team of the Department of Health has evaluated the addition of coronary angiography to the hospital's list of specialized techniques.

The appraisal team conducted a comprehensive inspection of necessary factors such as: legal documents, practitioner information, and a tour of the facilities and medical equipment serving the interventional cardiology department at the hospital.

Through assessment, Hoan My Dong Nai Hospital is qualified to add coronary angiography to the hospital's technical list. This is an important milestone marking the progress in the hospital's professional development.

Percutaneous coronary angiography is a basic and widely used procedure in cardiovascular intervention procedures with the aim of evaluating the entire coronary artery system. This technique uses catheters that enter the body through the radial artery or femoral artery, the catheter follows the aorta to each origin of the coronary artery and then injects contrast agent into the lumen of the vessel. With the support of the machine, detailed images of each coronary artery branch will be seen. Based on these images, it is possible to evaluate lesions of the coronary artery system such as: stenosis, occlusion, thrombosis, etc.

Coronary artery disease is a common cardiovascular disease that can cause many serious complications, such as angina, acute coronary syndrome, myocardial infarction, heart failure, and sudden death. Therefore, when the hospital deploys a vascular intervention room, it will be very helpful for the people in the province, especially in saving the lives of myocardial infarction patients and some complicated cardiovascular diseases in time, reducing the cost of medical examination and treatment for the people.
