Vascular surgeons at the Israeli Top Ihilov clinic are professionals who master innovative and safe methods and techniques for performing heart and vascular surgeries, including for the treatment of myocardial infarction, its consequences, and the causes that led to its development.
Among the innovative methods used by cardiothoracic surgeons at Top Ihilov to relieve patients from myocardial infarction are coronary artery bypass grafting, percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty with stenting, and carotid endarterectomy. Thanks to the application of these progressive methods and advanced technologies, Israeli cardiologists have managed to minimize the number of repeat patient visits regarding myocardial infarction.
Myocardial Infarction Treatment in Israel – Innovations and Traditions
- Medication treatment for myocardial infarction in Israel aims to alleviate (eliminate) pain syndrome, improve blood circulation and its thinning, lower blood pressure, dissolve clots, etc. The medications used undergo strict verification by regulatory authorities, making them absolutely safe, highly effective, and without side effects.
- Coronary artery bypass grafting is an effective way to restore blood flow in case of vessel blockage. To allow blood to circulate freely, the surgeon creates a bypass for its flow. This involves using grafts made from synthetic, safe, and hypoallergenic materials or sections of the patient's own vessels (usually taken from the vessels of the lower limbs or wrist). At Top Ihilov, bypass surgery is performed using a minimally invasive method – without opening the chest, through several punctures between the ribs. Such an operation lasts up to 4 hours and does not require prolonged hospitalization of the patient.
- Percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty with stenting is performed to expand the lumen of the artery and prevent its narrowing in the future. First, the surgeon implants a balloon, which is guided through the vessel to the area of narrowing and inflated with liquefied gas. As the balloon increases in volume, it expands the vessel and flattens cholesterol plaques. Then, a stent is placed at the site of the balloon, which will remain in the vessel for many years, preventing the walls from sticking together. After the stent is placed, the balloon is deflated and removed from the artery. The entire procedure is performed under angiographic control with the introduction of a contrast agent under local anesthesia and lasts no more than 2 hours.
- Carotid endarterectomy is a minimally invasive surgical intervention aimed at normalizing blood circulation by removing an atherosclerotic (cholesterol) plaque along with part of the inner surface of the carotid artery. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia through an incision in the neck and lasts 1-2 hours.
- Rehabilitation after myocardial infarction in Israel is not always mandatory following surgical intervention on the coronary vessels. However, if it is prescribed, the rehabilitation program includes therapeutic physical exercises, which help maintain physical activity, dietary adjustments to reduce salt intake and weight loss, and lifestyle changes (reducing psychological stress, quitting bad habits, etc.).
Diagnosis of Myocardial Infarction in Israel
A comprehensive examination for cardiovascular pathologies, even very severe and complex ones, lasts on average 3-4 days. This time is sufficient to establish an accurate diagnosis and plan the most optimal therapy program for each individual case.Day One. Arrival in the country and immediately – consultation
A representative of the clinic meets the patient at the airport, providing transfer services – first taking them to the hotel, and then to the center for a doctor's appointment. During the consultation, the cardiologist conducts an examination, collects the medical history, and provides directions for additional tests and studies.
Day Two. You undergo all examinations in 1 day
- Laboratory tests (blood and urine).
- Coronary angiography.
- Echo- and electrocardiographic studies.
- X-ray of the chest organs.
- Multi-slice CT with contrast.
- Scintigraphy – radioisotope scanning of the myocardium.
Day Three. A panel of doctors creates a therapy program for you
After receiving the test results, a panel of doctors from various specialties determines which type of intervention for treating myocardial infarction will be most effective in each specific case.
- Angiography of vessels in Israel
