Expert Cardiac Care
Dr. Vytautas Abraitis leads the interventional cardiology team. He has over 20 years of experience as an interventional cardiologist. Throughout his career, Dr. Vytautas Abraitis has performed 1,000+ percutaneous coronary interventions. He has also completed over 2,500 coronary angiographies. This level of experience helps manage complex cases, including patients with high-risk heart conditions.
Advanced Angioplasty Techniques
The hospital focus on percutaneous coronary intervention, which includes both angioplasty and stenting. This method opens clogged heart arteries to restore blood flow. Doctors at the clinic use specific techniques to improve patient recovery:
- Drug-coated stents help prevent the artery from narrowing again over time.
- Coronary angiography without an artery plug allows for a less invasive approach.
- Stenting with single drug-coated units offers targeted treatment for blockages.
These methods contribute to a post-surgery complication rate of less than 2%.
