Heart Attack Treatment: Is Stent Placement a Revascularization Option?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

Yes, coronary angioplasty with stent placement is a form of revascularization.

This procedure is performed to open up blocked or narrowed arteries during a heart attack, helping to restore blood flow to the heart.

If angioplasty is not an option or does not provide sufficient results, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery is typically considered the final treatment option.

Thanks
