Coronary angioplasty in Nemocnice Na Homolce
About the clinic
Coronary angioplasty at Nemocnice Na Homolce in Prague, Czech Republic, provides a minimally invasive way to treat narrowed heart arteries. The clinic is JCI-accredited and features a specialized team that performs over 3,000 catheterization procedures every year. This high volume of cases helps the medical staff maintain a high level of expertise in interventional cardiology.
Advanced Angioplasty Methods
The medical team uses a catheter-based approach to reach the coronary arteries without open surgery. This method helps shorten recovery times and lowers surgical risks. During the procedure, doctors use several specialized techniques to restore blood flow:
- Coronary angiography uses diagnostic imaging to see exactly where the artery is blocked.
- Balloon angioplasty widens the narrowed parts of the vessel.
- Stent deployment involves placing a small mesh tube to keep the artery open.
To make stent placement more accurate, the clinic uses advanced tools like intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT). These systems provide clear, 3D images from inside the blood vessels. The facility also uses modern angiographic systems to guide the entire process.
Expert Cardiology Team
Prof. Dr. Petr Neužil leads the Cardiology Clinic. He is a pioneer in catheter-based treatments and a Fellow of the European Society of Cardiology. Under his leadership, the clinic performs 3,500+ catheterization procedures annually. This experience is vital for managing complex cardiovascular cases.

This team focuses specifically on percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) to treat heart disease safely.
