Our Angioplasty Techniques: What Suits You Best?

When considering Angioplasty, it’s important to understand the different techniques and which is best suited for you. Here’s a concise comparison of popular options:

Carotid Angioplasty and Stenting

Carotid Angioplasty and Stenting is a minimally invasive procedure to widen narrowed arteries and improve blood flow to the brain.

Pros: Compared to intracranial arterial angioplasty, this procedure is less invasive with a quicker recovery time. It has a 95% success rate in improving blood flow.
Cons: Slightly higher risk of stroke than transluminal arterial angioplasty, occurring in about 3% of cases. Requires careful monitoring post-procedure.
Effectiveness: 95% success rate in improving blood flow.
Duration: 1-2 hours
Recovery: 1-2 days
Best for: Patients with carotid artery stenosis reducing blood flow by 70% or more.

Intracranial Arterial Angioplasty and Stenting

This procedure involves widening narrowed intracranial arteries using a balloon and placing a stent to maintain blood flow and prevent stroke.

Pros: Offers a minimally invasive alternative to open surgery with a lower risk of complications. Has a success rate of approximately 80% for improving blood flow.
Cons: Potential for restenosis in about 20% of cases, leading to repeated intervention. Requires highly specialized skills and equipment.
Effectiveness: Success rate of 80% in restoring adequate blood flow.
Duration: 1-2 hours
Recovery: 1-2 days
Best for: Patients with symptomatic intracranial atherosclerosis causing over 70% artery narrowing.

Transluminal Arterial Angioplasty (PTA) and Stenting

This procedure involves using a balloon catheter to widen blocked or narrowed arteries, often followed by placing a stent to keep the artery open and restore blood flow.

Pros: Minimally invasive with a shorter recovery time compared to traditional surgery. High success rate in restoring blood flow, with up to 90% effectiveness in certain cases.
Cons: Risk of artery re-narrowing over time, occurring in about 30% of cases. May require additional procedures if restenosis occurs.
Effectiveness: Success rate for blood flow restoration is approximately 90%.
Duration: 1-3 hours.
Recovery: 1-2 days.
Best for: Treating coronary artery disease and atherosclerosis with blockages over 50%.

What is the level of medicine in Thailand?

Healthcare is the key development sector of the Thai government. The Thai authorities are convinced that care for the citizens' health should be an absolute priority of state policy and spend about 25 billion baht for healthcare annually.

As a result, 36,673 medical facilities provide excellent medical care in the country. 64 centers in the Kingdom have certificate of JCI (Joint Commission International), the international improver of healthcare quality and safety across the globe. The index of certificates obtained is the largest. To compare, Israel has 20 JCI-accredited facilities, and Germany — only 10 clinics of this type.

What hotel service is provided here?

In the Kingdom of Thailand, hotels of different price ranges and service levels are presented. The level of Thai hotels is comparable to hotels in Tunisia, Morocco or Egypt. Most tourists choose 4 and 5 star hotels with all-inclusive meals. Such hotels have everything for a comfortable stay: varied food, a large well-groomed territory, animation for children and adults. Some hotels have their own water park, which guests can use for free. Budget travelers can afford to book an economical 3-star hotel with half board or no meals at all.

When is the best time to travel to Thailand?

The main advantage of Thai resorts is the long beach season. On the east coast and west coast the climate features are different, so take it into account when planning the trip. The best time to travel is during the cool and dry season between November and early April. A large influx of tourists is in March-May, when the air temperature is +30°C.

Do I need a visa?

For now, the Kingdom of Thailand requires different visa regimens for diverse states. Some foreigners can stay in the country 60 days without visa control, some of them — only 14 days.
