Coronary Stent Placement in Kota

Coronary Stent Placement is the definitive phase of modern interventional cardiology. A stent is a tiny, expandable metallic mesh tube placed inside a narrowed coronary artery to scaffold the vessel open, prevent recoil, and maintain unrestricted oxygen-rich blood flow to the heart muscle. At Shri Vinayak Hospital Kota, all procedures are spearheaded by Dr. Bhupendra Bathla.

State-of-the-Art Drug-Eluting Stents (DES)

We exclusively use modern 3rd and 4th generation Drug-Eluting Stents that incorporate:

• Ultra-thin strut profiles (60-80 microns) ensuring smooth endothelialization and rapid vascular healing.
• Biocompatible or biodegradable polymer coatings that minimize inflammation.
• Antiproliferative medications (Everolimus, Zotarolimus, Sirolimus) that effectively eliminate excessive cell growth and reduce restenosis rates to under 3-5%.

The Stenting Procedure in Our Cath Lab

Following diagnostic Coronary Angiography, a micro-guidewire crosses the lesion. The blockage is pre-dilated with a balloon, after which the drug-eluting stent mounted on a delivery balloon is expanded at high atmospheric pressure to anchor securely into the vessel wall. Post-dilation with non-compliant balloons ensures optimal stent apposition.

Clinical Excellence in Cardiac Emergencies

Whether scheduled for chronic stable angina or deployed as an emergency in Primary Angioplasty (PAMI) for acute myocardial infarction, stent placement at Shri Vinayak Hospital saves cardiac muscle from permanent necrosis.
