\n
\n\tInstallation of coronary stent\n
\n\n\n\n\t\tCoronary stenting is used to treat atherosclerosis (narrowed arteries) and heart attacks as well as addressing the following symptoms:\n\t
\n\t\n\t\tAll these symptoms pose an indication for undergoing an intravascular ultrasound to assess the location and size of plaque that is obstructing a blood flow.\n\t
\n\t\n\t\tContraindications to coronary stenting include:\n\t
\n\t\n\t\tBefore the surgery, a doctor assesses patient’s medical history. An imaging test called coronary angiogram is performed. During this test, liquid dye is introduced into patient’s blood flow through a catheter in their wrist or groin area. Dye is visible on X-ray, allowing to locate and plan treatment of blood flow blockages.\n\t
\n\t\n\t\tBased on patient’s examination results, a doctor decides, if the procedure is viable and what type of stent should be used and what clinic to choose. According to this Doctor Coordinator will answer how much does angioplasty surgery cost in your particular case.\n\t
\n\t\n\t\tRoutine examinations are carried out before the operation: blood tests, chest X-ray, and an electrocardiogram to rule out contraindications and get a better grip on patient’s condition.\n\t
\n\t\n\t\tPatients should not take any medicine that interferes with blood coagulation or thickness. Any medications should be taken only in accordance with a physician.\n\t
\n\n\t\tThe procedure takes 1-3 hours depending on patient’s condition, a number of blockages and difficulty. The operation is carried out by a cardiac surgeon and a team of medical personnel in a cardiac catheterization lab. The procedure is as follows:\n\t

\n\n\tAfter the operation patients are required to stay in a hospital for 1-4 days. Usually, special medications and regimen are not needed but may be implemented depending on patient condition. Patients should note that heart stent price is influenced by their duration of hospital stay.\nAfter a patient is dismissed, they should follow doctor’s recommendations.\n
\n\n\tFollowing symptoms should be addressed immediately by calling the operating doctor or the hospital:\n
\n\n\t\tThe procedure is considered minimally invasive and low risk. Still, there is a small chance (under 8%) of complications. Operating physicians will address them on the first notice and that won’t influence the heart stent surgery cost.\n\t
\n\t\n\t\tThe success rate of the procedure is over 90%. Placed stent greatly improves blood flow and a patient feels almost immediate relief after the operation. Patients are free to return to their usual lifestyles after a short rehabilitation period of about a week. A physician will tell when excessive activities may be engaged.\n\t
\n\t\n\t\tIt should be noted that stenting doesn’t cure the disease, but rather neutralizes the symptoms. To support and prolong the healthy state, one needs to:\n\t

"},"overview":{"text":"Coronary stenting is a cardiac procedure involving the placement of a stent to keep arteries open and improve blood flow.
Coronary stenting in South Korea maintains a procedural success rate between 97.3% and 98.5%. Major centers like Asan Medical Center and Severance Hospital utilize advanced drug-eluting stents and OCT guidance to keep in-hospital mortality at 2.4% and stent thrombosis risks below 0.6%.
Bookimed Expert Insight: High-volume centers drive Korea's superior safety outcomes. Asan Medical Center performs over 65,000 operations annually and handles 45% of the nation's heart transplants. This massive procedural volume allows surgeons to master radial access techniques, which significantly reduces bleeding risks and speeds up patient discharge.
Patient Consensus: Patients highlight the efficiency of same-day discharges and the precision of early issue detection. Many recommend using translator services to navigate the medical paperwork effectively.

These JCI-accredited institutions utilize high-volume catheterization labs and hybrid operating rooms to maintain complication rates under 1% for complex coronary stenting and heart transplants.
Bookimed Expert Insight: The Big 3 hospitals—Samsung, Severance, and Asan—offer significant efficiency for international patients. While smaller facilities may offer lower prices, these top-tier centers provide faster access to treatment. Patients often secure coronary intervention appointments at Samsung Medical Center with waiting times under 1 week.
Patient Consensus: Patients report high satisfaction with the English-fluent medical teams and efficient scheduling. Many suggest bringing existing echo or angiogram reports to these top Seoul hospitals to avoid redundant diagnostic testing.

Leading medical centers in Seoul, such as Asan Medical Center and Severance Hospital, provide globally recognized brands like Abbott XIENCE and Boston Scientific Synergy, alongside innovative domestic models from Genoss and CG Bio.
Bookimed Expert Insight: South Korea's cardiac infrastructure is exceptionally high-volume, with Asan Medical Center alone performing 45% of the nation's heart transplants. This massive procedural scale ensures that even local Korean-made stents, such as Genoss, are refined through heavy clinical use and rigorous performance monitoring in the national K-CORR database.
Patient Consensus: Patients find that the medical technology in Seoul matches or exceeds US and EU standards. Many specifically request ultrathin-strut DES like Orsiro to minimize the risk of restenosis during recovery.

Most patients resume light daily activities within 1 week and return to non-physical desk work within 3 to 5 days following the intervention.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Korea's top cardiac centers like Asan Medical Center and Severance Hospital utilize radial artery access. This technique allows many patients to walk within hours and reduces the complication risk. This approach often enables same-day discharge that is harder to achieve with femoral access.
Patient Consensus: Many patients report feeling 80% recovered within 10 days but warn of lingering fatigue. Following a strict medication schedule for blood thinners is the most critical post-op requirement.
