The success rate of the procedure is up to 94%. Patient is administered local anesthesia. Doctors insert special catheter in patient’s arteria and locate the narrow spot. After that, a small balloon is inflated to widen the vascular canal and set up the stent. Operation duration is 1-3 hours. Rehabilitation takes around 2-4 days.
