Successful PCI Treatment for a Blocked Coronary Artery: The Treatment Journey of a 67-Year-Old Patient

Successful PCI Treatment for a Blocked Coronary Artery: The Treatment Journey of a 67-Year-Old Patient

πŸ™ We are delighted to share the story of a patient who successfully received treatment for coronary artery disease at 𝐏𝐑𝐲𝐚𝐭𝐑𝐚𝐒 πŸ‘ π‡π¨π¬π©π’π­πšπ₯. 

πŸ“Ž The patient was 67 years old and had a long-standing history of hypertension and diabetes.

πŸ“Ž During a medical check-up in Myanmar, the patient was found to have calcium deposits in the coronary arteries. Since a high Coronary Calcium Score can indicate an increased likelihood of coronary artery narrowing, the patient underwent a Coronary Angiogram (CAG) for further evaluation.

πŸ“Ž The CAG revealed that one of the coronary arteries was not only severely narrowed but had already become completely blocked. Normally, during a CAG, a stent can be inserted to open a narrowed coronary artery. However, because the patient’s artery was completely blocked, the initial doctors explained that stent placement was not possible.

🀝 Therefore, the patient contacted 𝐏𝐑𝐲𝐚𝐭𝐑𝐚𝐒 πŸ‘ π‡π¨π¬π©π’π­πšπ₯ 𝐌𝐲𝐚𝐧𝐦𝐚𝐫  (Pan Asia Medical) and arranged to receive treatment from Dr. Suwat, a cardiologist at Phyathai 3 Hospital. We assisted with the pre-treatment consultation, appointment arrangements, transportation, and other necessary arrangements throughout the patient’s journey. πŸ™

βœ… Thanks to Dr. Suwat’s expertise, the blocked coronary artery was successfully opened and a stent was successfully placed. The patient remained stable without any complications during and immediately after the coronary intervention. β˜‘οΈβ˜‘οΈ

βœ… During the hospital stay, the patient was also guided through the necessary circulatory and rehabilitation exercises. After staying in the hospital for two nights, the patient was able to return home safely the following day. πŸ’

πŸ“Ž At the previous hospital, the patient had been informed that coronary artery intervention was not possible. We at 𝐏𝐑𝐲𝐚𝐭𝐑𝐚𝐒 πŸ‘ π‡π¨π¬π©π’π­πšπ₯ 𝐌𝐲𝐚𝐧𝐦𝐚𝐫  are therefore very pleased that the patient was successfully treated with coronary angioplasty at Phyathai 3 Hospital. We sincerely appreciate the patient’s trust in choosing Phyathai 3 Hospital for treatment. πŸ™

πŸ’ Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) is one of the treatment methods used for coronary artery disease. During PCI, a stent is inserted to open a narrowed or blocked coronary artery. By widening the artery with a stent, blood flow to the heart muscle can be improved and restored toward a normal level.
